Description

Join the members of the NWFAA and view the beauty of the universe. We start by setting just before the Sun sets to allow our guest observers to view the equipment and get photos before it gets dark. Once the Sun sets, we start nighttime observing. Different size and design telescopes will be set up by dusk and celestial objects will be chosen with an eye to visual observation and variety. The objects visible will depend on the season and time of night but normally include bright galaxies and nebulae, star clusters, and planets.
While there will be plenty of telescopes available to view through, we invite you to bring your own telescopes/binoculars and join in the fun. The star gaze is free but normal state park fees apply. The park closes the gate at sundown so make sure you arrive before then. For further information or to make sure the weather has not caused a cancellation, please call the park at (850) 267-8320.
