    Private Star Party for Kentridge HS Class

    The SAS will provide a private star party for about 60 students from Kentridge High School. Four to six astronomers with EPO experience and personal telescopes are sought for a three hour program including a star walk and telescope viewing. Please contact D. Ingram and tell him how you would like to help. If you are new to education and public outreach, this would be a good opportunity to watch and learn especially if you enjoy being around young people.
