MHAA Public Star Party

Steve Dittmar, MHAA
Enjoy the night sky away from the bright lights of the towns and cities in our area! The night will be dark - perfect for star gazing. Bring your own telescopes and binoculars or use those provided by our members. A telescope is not required. The star party will take place at the park's West Beach parking lot. Leo will be visible early, with Ursa Major (which includes the Big Dipper) near zenith, and Hercules rising towards comfortable viewing levels by mid-evening. While Galaxy Season is ending, M101, a showcase galaxy, will be high in the northern sky.
