If there are clear skies: drop by at Battle Point Observatory for the following night sky events in June! Volunteer astronomers will be on hand to talk about what’s overhead. Feel free to bring your own telescope or binoculars, and layer up as it can get chilly after dark.
BPAA will be hosting two Star Parties at Battle Point Observatory in May!!!
The event on 2 May will be between 8:30 pm – 10:30 pm.
Since the sun will be setting later, the Star Party will be between 9 pm – 11 pm.
After weeks of clouds and rain we finally had a clear night. Multiple telescopes were set up in the parking lot including Miles Starkenburg’s 14” (equipped with binocular eyepieces) in addition to our Takahashi 6” refractor, an 8” Dobsonian, and two Seestar (an S30 and an S50) telescopes. Additionally, the CDK on the roof was used in visual mode for the first time at a star party.
