NOTE: If you wish to
use view here outside of OMSI scheduled nights
you must obtain your own permit.
From beginners to
experts of all ages, here's your opportunity to view the stars and
other celestial objects up close and personal through telescopes.
Viewing highlights may include planets, deep sky
objects, and more. Sometimes we can even view the International
Space Station passing overhead.
There is no formal registration for the
event itself, just show up and enjoy the evening. You don't even need a
telescope to participate; other members are enthusiastic to share their
views. This is a good opportunity for beginners to get acquainted.
Come and observe your
favorite objects and spend a wonderful evening with friends, and friends
you haven't met yet.
If you are new to observing here is some information on
Star Party Etiquette,
Star Party Supplies and
Star Party Tips.
