UPDATE 5/4/24 3:00 pm: Unfortunately, the weather is conspiring against us for tonight, and we need to cancel tonight’s Star Party 😥). Hoping for better weather next Saturday at Harrison Bay or next month at Cloudland.

Please join us at the Disc Golf parking area for an evening of astronomical observations with visual telescopes, Electronically-Assisted scopes and monitors, and just looking up with our eyes!
Family-friendly, accessible, and guaranteed awesome!

Note: BAS events are free to all, but Cloudland Canyon requires a $5.00 parking fee per vehicle.

Basic information for the May 4, 2024 Cloudland Canyon Star Party:

• Sunset: 8:29 pm
• Moon: 19% waning crescent. No Moon tonight!
• Set-Up: 7:00-8:00 pm
• Guest Arrival: 8:00 pm
