Local Star Party Info: (Cancelled)

Star Party - Sparks Marina - 05/21/2025 - 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM

Sparks Marina Public Star Parties are back!!*

*Weather dependent. Check back here or on our Discord Server for updates

Beginning at Sunset (check your local time for actual sunset) and continuing for about two hours, weather permitting, the ASN will conduct a public star party for visitors to the Sparks Marina. We will meet on the western Peninsula (at the end of Nichols Blvd). The park's lights will be off in that area. This event is also good for members of the public to bring a telescope to, and we will teach you how to use it properly!
