Friday the 5th and Saturday the 6th is a backup date in case of bad weather.

Sunset is at 9:00 p.m.
Begin at 9:30 p.m.
There will be a first quarter Moon so we will have something to show.

We will bring our telescopes and instruct park guests on how to explore and observe the summer night sky including constellations, hunting down deep sky objects, and viewing everything from planets and stars to countless nebulae, clusters, comets, satellites and many other fascinating objects.
Bring a your binoculars (if you have them).

Hope to see you there!
