Walking in Galileo’s Footsteps: Exploring the Winter Night Sky

Join Sonoma
County Astronomical Society member and avid amateur astronomer Phil Cannon for an
evening of guided star searching and planet tracking.  We’ll use
binoculars and a spotting scope to explore the sky as Galileo did 400 years
ago.  The earth’s moon, several beautiful
open star clusters and the moons of Jupiter will be visible. Meet at the
Millerton Point parking lot on Hwy 1 near Marshall.  Please wear warm clothes and bring
binoculars, telescope or spotting scope if you have them.  Warm drinks and cookies will be provided! More
