Star Party with Colorado Springs Astronomical Society
Event Info
About this Event
Join the Colorado Springs Astronomical Society (CSASTRO) volunteers with their telescopes at Cheyenne Mountain State Park as they embark on a tour of the night sky!. The Astronomical Society will have their largest telescopes set up at the Limekiln Trailhead for views of these and other celestial sights. Mar makes it’s closest approach to Earth once every two years so take advantage of this opportunity and join us (or plan to wait for two more years. The choice is yours!)
Views are dependent upon weather conditions. All cancellations or changes will be communicated via social media. A valid parks pass is required for every vehicle that enters the park.
This event is free and open to the public. No registration required. However, by signing up on CPWConnect you will receive reminder emails, as well as information regarding cancellations if they happen.
