-On the Saturday closest to the first quarter moon, we meet at Claiborne West State Park. This is a great place to enjoy the night skies away from city lights.
-On the Saturday closest to the new moon, we meet near Hillister, Texas. A little further out of the city and some of the best skies in East Texas!
If you need more information on when the first quarter or new moon is, please check The Sky Tonight! Link.
