Star Gazing at Rush Ranch

This FREE event is sponsored by the Rush Ranch Educational Council and the Solano Land Trust, owners of Rush Ranch.

Join amateur astronomer, Jim Jerrell, for a night of stargazing at Rush Ranch. Jim, who has 30+ years experience, will give a brief lecture and answer questions on all things celestial, as well as offer insight into the popular field of amateur astronomy. The class will take place in the Nature Center, afterwards everyone will move outside and begin the stargazing. Several telescopes will be on hand, but please feel free to bring your own scopes and binoculars. Please be familiar with the setup of your own scope.
