Stargazers regularly attend 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.... |
