The weather for tonight’s star parties is indicating 100% Cloud Cover. Our telescopes do not see through the clouds. It would be typical for the Wagman Star Party to cancel under these circumstances. The Mingo Planetarium can run indoor programming and is more likely not to be cancelled. Please check back for updates. This should be updated again by 4 PM. 2PM Update. As of 4PM, there are no updates since the last one stating 100% cloud cover anticipated.
