Oak Flat Public Star Party
Saturday, June 3rd
Oak Flat Picnic Grounds, South of Tijeras
The second event in our annual summer series of Oak Flat Public Star Parties will be held on Saturday, June 3rd at the Yucca and Juniper areas of the Oak Flat Picnic Grounds. Numerous TAAS telescopes of all types and sizes will ring the observing field in this dark-sky location generously assigned to our Society for many years to show the wonders of our New Mexico skies to the visiting public.
The gates to the parking areas (restrooms are at Yucca only) will open at 6:00pm, so that guests can have time to picnic and enjoy the area and get to know the astronomers and their telescopes as they set up before darkness slowly moves in and observing begins. Sunset is at approximately 8:00pm.
Free and open to the public--Families welcome! Bring jackets for any evening chill and water as needed, along with red light headlamps or flashlights to preserve night vision
Dates for series events remaining are July 15, August 12, September 9
