Star Party

Get to know the constellations and celestial treasures among them like the moon, planets, galaxies, and more.

The events begin with a short orientation followed by quality time outside under the heavens. The winter constellations are the best and brightest this time of the year.

Be sure to wear warm clothing! Bring a lawn chair, if you like.

Large reflecting telescopes, including two giant 20-inch reflectors will be available for close up views of Jupiter, star clusters, nebulae, galaxies and other wonders of the winter skies.

There will also be an astronomical camera-telescope system for extra special views of the more distant universe.
