Mid-Hudson Astronomical Association Monthly Star Party

Enjoy the night sky as we prepare to transition from Winter to Spring. Get 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.

Orion will be visible early, but Gemini will be prominent near zenith, and Leo will be high in the sky before the end of the evening. It's the beginning of "Galaxy Season", and views of galaxies like M81 (featured image) will be be possible both through the eyepiece and on a screen. Andromeda (M31) and Triangulum (M33) will be visible early, then set. Others will be rising, including the famous Leo Triplet, before the end of the evening.

Registration: RSVP is required at least one day beforehand.
