Any stargazing deprived people from Chicagoland want to join me tonight? I am going to Green River Wildlife Area, near Dixon, for some DSO observing. According to Clear Sky Clock the sky there should be clear around 8 pm. I want to catch Mercury before it sets, so I'll be there around 7:30pm.
I am planning to go back around 1:30am.
It's a 2hr ride one way from western suburbs, we can share the ride.

Here are some links:

Clear skies!
