2007 Star Parties
-
Star Parties are local astronomy
gatherings that are held all around the world by astronomy clubs
and organizations.
-
They are a great way to get an
introduction to amateur astronomy, telescopes and local astronomy
groups.
-
Many star parties are open to the
public, some only to local club members.
-
The best way to find local parties
is to contact your area club or observatory / planetarium.
Locations
and dates are accurate to the best of our knowledge. Please
check with each club to ensure that time and place remains the same.
