Headed to the Ferguson Observatory tonight

Every month the Ferguson Observatory at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park has a open house where folks from all around the area can come out and take a look at the stars. The kids and I went last month but the sky was unluckily partially obscured most of the night. We’ve got clear skies right now, so if it continues we’ll take a trip out there again. Unluckily the site doesn’t open until 9:00 pm, so I may not be able to take the kids; their bed time is 7:30 and they’re usually asleep by 8:00. Still, even if I have to go alone, it’ll be worth the drive out there.
