Our latest public observing session has us looking forward to views of the planets Venus and Saturn (for early groups) and a nearly full Moon (for later groups) as well as various deep sky objects including globular clusters and galaxies. We look forward to seeing many of you for another night of astrophysics fun and learning under our beautiful Virgin Islands skies.
This month's event will also feature our, now traditional, "Physics of Santa Claus" video presentation and lecture where we discuss the science behind how Santa Claus can make his famous journey to visit all good girls and all good boys on December 25th.
As usual, we'll be running a shuttle service from the Sibilly School parking lot (near Sibs and the traffic circle) that we kindly ask all participants to make use of due to parking limitations at the Observatory. Please plan to be at the shuttle stop about 20-30 minutes before your scheduled session start time. We look forward to seeing many of you Friday night!

Kindest regards,

David Morris
