I'm hoping for clear skies tomorrow night during the Star Party at Airlie Gardens in Wilmington, North Carolina. It sounds like it will be a great way to experience astronomy first hand.
Date: Friday, April 5
Time: 7-10 PM
Location: Airlie Gardens (300 Airlie Road, Wilmington)
Here's the information supplied by the Cape Fear museum:
