About this event
This is the ChesMont Astronomical Society's big annual public event. If you would like to meet some folks from a neighboring astronomy club, this is your chance! Bring your telescope to share the view (DVAAers welcome!), or come for the astronomy activities for all ages. This is a *public* star party, so pack your starparty eyepieces.
Come anytime, tour the Furnace if you like, then set up your scope afterwards (scope setup 6pm onwards).
Talks for the public get started around 7ish, with door prizes awarded directly after the talks. After that, the action will shift to observing.
Highlights: 10-Object Row. Video observing and Night Vision viewer mounted on a 20" Dob
Food vendors will be onsite, but you can also bring your own food if you want.
Campsite in French Creek Park may be available for anybody wanting to stay over the weekend. Check the park website for info on that.
