Public Star Parties, February 2013

There are two star gazing events in February that are open to the general public.

Friday, February 15. 7:00 PM. Town Square Park, Murrieta

This event is conducted by the First Light Astronomy Club of Temecula High with assistance from the Temecula Valley Astronomers, and involves outdoor observing only. The start time is 7:00 pm. An end time hasn't been announced yet, but I expect that the event will last for two hours.

Tuesday, February 19. 6:00 -8:00 PM. The Murrieta Library, Murrieta
http://www.murrieta.org/news/displaynews.asp?NewsID=175&TargetID=1
A indoor show on astronomy tailored for children starts at 6:00 pm. Observing is between 6:30 - 8:00.

CORRECTION: The link above for the Murrieta Library star party mentions that there is a 60-person seating limit. This is not correct.  The event will accommodate more than 60 persons.
