Members of the San Bernardino Valley Amateur Astronomers will set up their telescopes for a Moon Party at the San Bernardino County Museum in Redlands on Saturday evening, August 25, from 8:00 to 9:30 p.m. Club members will bring several sizes and types of telescopes, ranging from refractors to reflectors to ‘compound’ optics, to share close-up views of the night sky. This event, suitable for all ages, is free to the public.
“We’ll be looking at a stunning first-quarter moon,” said Chris Clarke, San Bernardino Valley Amateur Astronomers, “with incredible detail standing out almost three-dimensionally.”
