The Pagosa Sidewalk Astronomers will host free, educational public events at which you can use your binoculars to see large deep-sky objects.
Two nights during spring break weeks are scheduled during the moonless nights — March 13 and 20. Let’s hope for clear skies.
Bring a pair of binoculars (they don’t have to be high magnification) and meet near the pickleball courts in Yamaguchi Park at 8:15 p.m.
Your star guide will point out deep-sky objects such as binary star systems, planets, star clusters and even a nebula or galaxy, if we’re lucky. Come out and enjoy Pagosa’s dark sky.
Bring binoculars, warm clothes, warm shoes, warm hat, gloves or hand warmers, flashlight or headlamp (red light preferred) and, optionally, a phone app of the night sky (like Stellarium).
