Overview

Moving this event out one day to Saturday, October 12th for a more favorable weather forecast of clear skies.

This public "Star Gaze" event is authorized by the city of Duvall, Parks & Recreation Department and is free of charge.  

Experienced astronomer volunteers from the Seattle Astronomical Society (SAS) bring their telescopes and binoculars to share with the public.  Everyone is welcome including families with children.

The Moon is near its "first quarter" phase and as such the Cresent Moon follows the setting Sun by less than ninety degrees and pleasantly preceeds fairly  dark skies, favorable for stargazing.  Setup time begins at 6:00pm and the field lights will go off at 6:30pm.

Astrophotographers are welcome to set up in FIeld #1 which is NE of the main public star gazing in Field #2.

Check the SAS website < www.seattleastro.org > frequently for star gazing event status.  If weather conditions force cancellation of an event, that news will be posted not later that 4PM the day of the event.
