Join local area amateur astronomers and their powerful telescopes in celebrating the dark skies of Nelson County at our Spring Equinox Star Party, to be held on Friday, March 17th or Saturday, March 18th--whichever day has the best weather conditions and clarity for stargazing!

There will be a laser tour of the night sky.  We'll also be observing  galaxies, globular clusters and the beautiful star fields of the Milky Way, all beginning with an indoor presentation taking place at 7:30 P.M. 

Coffee from Trager Brothers Coffee will be available, so dress warmly, bring a lawn chair, and stay as long as you’d like!

Please note that while this viewing is scheduled for Friday, it may be moved to Saturday if viewing conditions are not good on Friday.  This decision will be made after 4pm on Thursday, 3/16, and we will update all RSVPs with either a reminder, or a notice of date change, on Friday morning.
 
The star party will take place if clear, mostly clear or some clouds from time to time is forecast on the night scheduled and announced. The organizers reserve the right to cancel the event entirely if mostly cloudy, cloudy or rainy weather is forecast on each night of the star party weekend. If this happens, all RSVPs will be notified by email.

If you would like to be notified, please register below to RSVP.  The event is pay-what-you-will, and all proceeds support educational programming at RVCC.
