Star Party Friday, July 18th 2025

In support of the Every Kid Outdoors Adventure Challenge. This event is free and is open to the entire family. In addition to telescopes where you look through an eyepiece we will also have smart telescopes which display the image on a screen. So even if you have a physical disability which prevents you from looking through an eyepiece – you will still get to observe the wonders of our beautiful universe!
