Local astrophotographer, meteorologist, and resident astronomy enthusiast, Scott Stevens, will lead us in Experiencing the Night: 

​

What to Expect: This year's celebration happens during the Perseid Meteor Shower, whose radiant rises with the constellation Perseus in the northeast,  climbing higher and higher as the night progresses.

 

What to Bring: Lawn Chair and Blanket. This is a naked eye event, no optical aid is required. Though with the Milky Way passing overhead, a pair of binoculars will bring those dim fuzzies into view.  

 

What will be provided:  An 8” telescope will be set up to view some brighter objects like the bright globular cluster in Hercules, M13. M8 and M20 nebula in Sagittarius.

 

Another smaller scope will be imaging so guests will have the opportunity to view and take home some astro-photos. 

​

Join us for an unforgettable evening!!
