District 3 Astronomy Opportunities

I have two different opportunities for you in coordination with UW-Sheboygan.

 

The first is a high-altitude balloon launch which is planned for the weekend of April 25-26. The launch-site will depend on the weather around that time. They may launch from UW-Fond du Lac, and chase the payload toward Sheboygan. Then again, conditions may allow us to chase the payload from Sheboygan to a west location. They can't tell at this point. If anyone is interested in taking part (by adding a small payload, or just chasing), please contact Harald Schenk harald.schenk@uwc.edu

 

The second will help celebrate The Year of Astronomy.  On Thursday, April 30th, there will be public viewing at UW-Sheboygan. Everyone is invited, but bring clear skies.   This event is also weather dependent.
