Field lights will turn off at event start time (6:30pm).  Field #2 (the middle field) will be used for public stargazing.  Field #1 (the NE field farthest from the road) is reserved for astrophotographers to set up their equipment to avoid confusion as to which telescopes are available for visual stargazing.
