Hi Cristobal,

I am sorry I haven’t gotten back to you sooner, We had a major software upgrade and I did not see your comment until now.

The short answer is, NEFAS members will be on hand at every Hanna Park event regardless of the weather as some folks show up anyway. We have had people bring their telescopes out in the rain for our members to troubleshoot or to instruct them in how to use them. The weather is always a crap shoot. Hopefully we will have clear skies the night of April 13th.

Hello Mabel,

Hanna Park closes their gates a half hour before sunset. Sunset on the 13th is at 7:53pm so I would make sure you were inside the park by 7:00pm just to be sure. There will be NEFAS members there regardless of the weather as some folks show up with their telescopes to learn how to use them or have our members troubleshoot any issues they may be having.

Keep your fingers crossed for clear skies!

Chuck Cummins
President NEFAS

Looks like we will be receiving a lot of rain that day. Very unfortunate if gets canceled.
