Price? Free!

What to bring?
Yourself, friends, family, and anything else. Feel free to bring a chair and sit outside with us if you'd like

Are there any age requirements?
Open to all ages

What's up with the red lights, and why don't you have regular lights in the area?
There's science behind it, but basically, red light doesn't interfere with night vision like white light does. It takes your eyes about 20 minutes to get your night vision, so we don't want to disrupt it by using white light.

Parking?
Park at the Nature Center and follow the wooden path to the field.  We'll be stationed around the red lights.

So, I'm here. What do I do?
Decide which telescope you want to peek into and ask the BSAS member what they are viewing. Be careful not to touch the eyepiece or telescope, since it might move the object out of view. If this happens, just let the BSAS member know so they can get the object back in the eyepiece for you.

Who are these people with the telescopes?
These are members of the Barnard-Seyfert Astronomical Society who have brought out their telescopes to share what's in the night sky with you. It's part of our community outreach with the park, and honestly, we love doing it and encourage questions. We enjoy sharing our passion for the night sky with our neighbors.
