This event has already occurred.
Status: Archived Weather permitting, we will meet in the main parking lot across from the Trading Post. We will talk briefly about light pollution then explore visible constellations and dark sky objects through the telescope. The Perseids Meteor Shower peaks this weekend. The moon sets at 6:10 pm so we should see plenty of shooting stars.
Please bring red headlamps instead of white. Call park to let us know you plan on attending.
