Details:

Sunset is at 6:37 that evening. Venus and the thin crescent moon may be visible right at sundown. Come out and see Saturn and Mars along with lots of galaxies, nebulae and star clusters as it gets darker.

We should have a good turnout of telescopes so there should be lots to choose from. Remember, if there is something you want us to point at, don't be shy about asking!

We must have the park completely clear by midnight so we'll probably start tearing down our equipment around 11:15 or so depending upon the number of observers.

Location Info:

The site of our quarterly public star parties.

Enter the park via the main gate, turn left at the ranger station and continue to the end of the road past the large rocks.

Notes:

This is a County Park so please be mindful of the rules. aka, no alcohol. No smoking of any kind except in your vehicle. The park normally closes at sundown but during our Star Parties, we make special arrangements to have the gates open until the event concludes. Also, please stay at the event after dark. The rest of the park is not open to the public after dark and you will be asked to leave if you stray from the event area.
