I went back through some of the postings in the last 60 days and it seems as if there have been several similar postings that would coincide with this posting. After reading some people's comments, I thought of a way that might enlighten awareness, test your astronomy skills and bring the community together! One comment in the posts that I was reading, someone mentioned a "Sky Party" hosted by the Mauna Kea visitor center.
So here's my proposal: We should have a Puna Sky Party. People could come out, meet people they haven't met before. Observe the night sky for all of it's beauty and then see how many stars, constellations and what have you that you can name. The other point to this is to rise the awareness of Light Pollution.
Ok, I'm an open target!
