Star Parties
 

Once a month—on a Saturday night close to the new moon—the Andromeda Astronomical Society hosts a star party in the park. The program begins shortly after dark and lasts for about 1½ hours.

Meet at the parking lot on the right fork of the road into the picnic area at Hidden Valley.
