The forecast is actually for clear skies. But below freezing temps with some wind.
I am postponing the public night to Sunday Jan 21, 5-10p. Note: Crockett is scheduled for Jan 20.

This eclipse should be visible for most of western North America, eastern Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Ocean
I’m cancelling public night. Great Meadow fields are soft already. The melting snow will make it worse.
When using the dirt roads to access our site, remember to try not veer off, causing damage and widening of the roads. We are grateful to be guests at Great Meadow so please don’t damage the facilities.
I would suggest using the VRE garage again for the collimation workshop. We should be able to do star tests from the top level with non-artificial stars!

A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes completely through the Earth’s dark shadow, or umbra. During this type of eclipse, the Moon will gradually get darker and then take on a rusty or blood red color. The eclipse will be visible throughout most of Europe, Africa, western and central Asia, the Indian Ocean, and Western Australia.
