About SAAA Star Parties
| The Shoreline Amateur Astronomical Association sponsors monthly observing sessions called ’star parties’. A star party isn’t a party in the traditional sense: members bring their telescopes or binoculars and spend an evening observing constellations, hunting down deep sky objects, and viewing everything from planets and stars to countless nebulae, clusters, comets, satelites and many other fascinating objects.
While a star party provides a place for serious observing, visitors are encouraged to join us and are always welcome. A star party is the perfect outlet for those who seek to learn more about astronomy and for those who wish to experiment with various tools of the trade. Members are enthusiastic about the hobby and eager to show-off their wares. There is no better place to learn about telescopes and accessories than at a star party. You don’t need to own a telescope to attend a star party. Of course, if you do own a telescope we encourage you to bring it along. Members are willing to instruct and have many years of experience. Our star parties occur monthly at Vivekananda Monastery on Friday evenings at or closest to new Moon. In case of bad weather, Saturday evening is our backup. Vivekananda Monastery is a private location made available to the SAAA club. As such, only SAAA scheduled observing sessions are open to the public.
