& Odyssey Astronomy Club  
invite you to a Star Party at:

Washington Elementary School

```
                                       600 48th Avenue SE, Norman, OK 73026

```

The Observing Field is due West of the Main Parking Lot at Washington  
Elementary! FREE! Children must be accompanied by parents.

DATE: Friday evening, December 6th

6:30 PM – 8:30 PM

Keep in mind that a Star Party is a weather-dependent event.

Keep car headlights on low as you enter the Parking Lot.

Dress for the weather. Washington Elementary is on the East side of Norman and the area may be 10 degrees below the in-town temperature…

We advise dressing in layers to include long pants, a jacket, a warm hat, socks &  
sturdy shoes.

If you bring flashlights, we will provide red coverings to dim the lights reaching your eyes.

You will be introduced to the Waxing Crescent Moon, the planets Venus, Jupiter and Saturn,  
the Main Late Fall/early Winter constellations ID, and various deep sky objects!

Driving Instructions from OKC…
