Star Party Links

What are “star parties”? It is a term used by amateur astronomer for an event where people gather to enjoy the wonders of the night sky together. These gatherings can be held in city, suburban or rural settings. People share their knowledge and pass the time looing through one another’s telescopes and binoculars. Most “star parties” are on a local level. SLAS holds many public star parties throughout the year at municipal, state and national parks.
