Harrison Bay Star Party August 10, 2024
August 10 @ 8:00 pm – 11:00 pm
UPDATE 8/10/24 10:30 am: OK folks – we are looking at a gorgeous evening for tonight’s Star Party at Harrison Bay! If you haven’t seen the Moon through a telescope, prepare to be awestruck! Lots of summer goodies to choose from tonight, Perseid meteors should be putting in an appearance, and Saturn will be crashing the party around 10:30 pm!
Please join us at the Rec Hall 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! You do not need to bring a telescope – the BAS has all the gear!
