First Friday Public Observing Night’s at Arbor Gardens for 2025.

Weather permitting, we’ll meet at Arbor Gardens Park, 1695 SW 34th St, in Moore, towards the east end of the parking lot, near the walkway.

These events are for club members to get together to observe in the metro area, for prospective members and the general public. If you need help with equipment, or general observing, that will be available, too!

The next First Friday Public Observing Night is January 3, 2025 at Arbor Gardens Park in Moore. Sunset is at 5:31pm and the Moon sets at 9:41pm. It will be a good time to view Venus, Saturn and Jupiter.

I was thinking of getting there around 5:30pm and bringing my 8” EdgeHD to do some planet viewing. Is anyone planning on coming out?

I am planning on getting to Arbor Gardens between 6-6:30. Traffic is just too bad for me to get there earlier. Hopefully we’ll have some clear skies for observing!

I probably will stay until about 8 or so.

Dress for the cold if you’re coming out!

Thanks, y’all. I plan to be there and look forward to meeting everyone.

I’ll also load up my 8” dobsonian and other gear, but please let me know if there’s anything else I can bring for the good of the cause.

LoL, I won’t be there this evening, but I bet there’s one thing people might enjoy… Hot coffee or Cocoa LoL :rofl::rofl::rofl:

First half of evening should be fairly clear and a mild breeze. At least that’s what I’m seeing predicted. You definitely want to dress warm.

We had a great First Friday of the new year today!

There were several of the regulars there; Rachel, Gerald and Dave H. Thanks to all!

One new club member, Chris C, was there. And we had Chris’ friend Robert, and the Banad family of four that said they’d be joing soon!

Viewing was good, if a bit chilly. It was a great start to observing in 2025!
