Stargazers organise Star Parties, A star party is a gathering of amateur
astronomers for the purpose of observing the sky. Local star parties may
be one night affairs, but larger events can last up to a week or longer
and attract hundreds or even thousands of participants. Many regional
star parties are now held annually and are an important part of the hobby
of amateur astronomy. Typically a dark sky site away from light pollution
is chosen as a location. Participants bring telescopes and binoculars
of all types and sizes and spend the nights observing astronomical objects
such as planets, comets, stars, and deep sky objects together. Click on the pictures to see more.... |
