Las Placitas Star Party
Saturday, November 1, 2003
 Homestead Shopping Center


It’s time again for one of our favorite star parties. The Placitas Star Party will be held on Saturday, November 1, 2003 at the Homestead Shopping Center, Placitas, NM. This event usually draws 300-500 people from all over the northern Albuquerque region. A combination of crisp autumn air, easily accessible location, dark skies, and hopefully, good viewing weather, will be irresistible to the viewing public.

TAAS Members, please contact me, Steve Snider, at slsnider@rt66.com and let me know if you plan on attending. Also, please let me know what telescope you’re bringing. Thanks in advance for your participation.
