Don’t miss this one!

Decent viewing from Western USA, Timor-Leste, Indonesia, Philippines, Laos, Mongolia, Vietnam, China.
*** TWO FOR ONE SPECIAL! ***
This night is also the peak for Draconids Meteor Shower, which would normally be fairly washed out by the full moon… but during the eclipse, you’ll have a better chance of spotting these 10 or so meteors per hour. Good luck!

We will also have light refreshments before the meeting (around 6:30 or so) to recognize all of the volunteers that served NOVAC so well during the past year.
We will elect officers for 2015 at the December meeting. Candidate nominations have been received for each position (president, VP, secretary, treasurer, three two-year trustee terms, one one-year trustee term). It’s not too late to get into the race, though; if you want to run for one of the officer or trustee positions, please self-nominate by emailing a statement of your desire to run to elections@novac.com. It’s also possible to nominate another willing volunteer; we do ask, however, that you obtain advance permission from the person(s) you want to nominate before doing so.
We look forward to seeing you Sunday evening!

Eclipse totality will be hard to see unless you happen to be traveling to the Arctic (Svalbard or Faroe Islands.) However much of northern Europe and Eurasia will experience 90% coverage of the sun.
