Coconino Astronomical Society viewing May 9th.

640px-earthriseOur source informed us late tonight that the viewing by the Coconino Astronomical Society is apparently next Friday, May 9 at the same times. There will be a slight interference from a sliver of sunlight, but it will be dark enough for some great viewing.

We apologize for any inconvenience this error may have caused.

You can do a sky viewing of your own at any time, however. You can see some pretty amazing things even with a simple pair of binoculars. You only have to travel as far as the Santa Fe Dam, for example, to find a dark enough area for a viewing.

You might even have a good viewing area in your back yard.
