- **Event Name**: KVAS & WVAA 1st Star Party of 2026
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 20 Feb, 2026 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Kanawha Valley Astronomical Society &amp; West Virginia Astrophotography Association will be hosting the first star party of 2026 for both groups.

Please come out and join us on February 20, 2026, at 6:30pm. We will have both observation astronomy through the KVAS club telescope as well as member astrophotography rigs setup. Smart Telescope will be available for the public. Bring a smart phone or tablet to connect to a Smartscope, image, and save to your device to take home with you. Members will be on hand to walk the public through using the club telescope and astrophoto smartscopes. Also, bring your own telescopes or smartscopes as well. 

The star party will be weather dependent. If rain or cloudy skies, we will reschedule. We do try to notify a star party cancellation or postponement within 3 days of the scheduled star party. Also, we understand it is quite cold outside this time of year. There is a small warming room onsite but it is limited to a very small number and people will need to take turns if being utilized.  

We look forward to seeing you under the stars!
