Why Saturday 8th
October 2011?
·
This is close to the start of the school year in the northern
hemisphere
·
Nights are now long enough to be able to see the Moon at a
reasonable hour
·
Not too cold a time of the year
·
Needed to avoid the Full Moon as features are more difficult to
see then
· A weekend evening is preferable to a busy weekday evening
