The public is invited to look in our telescopes to observe the sky. We’ll show such objects as the Moon, Saturn, galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, and more.
Festivities will take place at the Pedernales Falls Star Theater, adjacent to the Equestrian Area.
Reservations are required. Follow this link for reservations:
https://tpwd.texas.gov/calendar/pedernales-falls/star-party-August_30. There is no charge for the star party itself, but visitors must pay the park entry fee of $6 for ages 13 and up, with children 12 and under free.
A flashlight with a red bulb is good to bring, but we have red cellophane we can use to cover a white light. There is no water at the Star Theater; there is a portable toilet. Please don’t bring a dog, unless it is a service animal; we prefer not to have dogs around the telescopes in the dark. Smoking is not permitted in the area of the telescopes because the smoke can damage optical equipment. Public consumption of alcoholic beverages is not allowed in state parks.
If the weather on a scheduled star party day seems questionable for viewing, you can check our website (austinastro.org) or call the state park office.
