Star Party

Come and observe what few on Earth have ever seen: planets, moons, constellations, nebulae, galaxies, star clusters,
comets, meteors, satellites, double stars and more as seen through a variety of telescopes and binoculars.

Star Parties are a public service of the DVAA and are FREE!!   Adults and children alike are welcome.

Our members setup and man a bunch of telescopes and binoculars for the public to use but feel free to bring out your
equipment  own as well.  Also, if you’re a noob or you haven’t used your scope in a while we’ll be happy to help
you with setup and calibration.  In either case, be prepared to learn a whole lot about the sky (The DVAA loves to talk
astronomy!)
