Come and observe planets, moons, constellations, nebulae, galaxies, star clusters, comets, meteors, satellites, double stars and more as seen through a variety of telescopes and binoculars.

Star Parties are a public service of the DVAA and are FREE!! All ages are welcome.

Our members setup and operate a bunch of telescopes and binoculars for public viewing, but feel free to bring out your own equipment as well.  Also, if you're a newbie or you haven't used your scope in a while we'll be happy to help you with setup and calibration.  In either case, be prepared to learn a whole lot about the sky (The DVAA loves to talk astronomy!)

If you register for the event you will receive an email (and text, if you have provided a cell phone number) regarding any last minute changes due to weather.   You can register by clicking on the event from the home page.
