Overview

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

It will be cold so dress warmly. Bring a hot drink, chair, and blanket too. If you have binoculars take a look at the Pleiades, Orion Nebula, Double Cluster, and if your lucky you might see the Galilean moons around Jupiter.

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.

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

Monthly "Skymaps" for identifying celestial targets and constellations along with a vast number of stargazing tools and publications can be found on website < www.skymaps.com >
