Join Us for our Next Public Star Watch at the Minute Man Airfield!
Star Watch tonight! Sunday, Oct. 26, 2025
Stargazing begins at 6:00pm and ends at 9:00pm
Well, we’re definitely into the fall season! SAS members will set up their telescopes for guest viewing. This Star Watch has a wonderful show, featuring glorious Saturn with near edge-on rings, a thin sliver Moon, Mercury and Mars if you come early, and galaxies if you stay late! See the galaxies of Pegasus and Andromeda, the Ring Nebula in Lyra and, with dark skies, the Veil Nebula in Cygnus! In conjunction with visual scopes, check out our newest digital imaging system, a Seestar 50, which may even let us see a real live supernova!
If you have COVID-like symptoms or have been in contact with someone ill, we ask that you refrain from attending.
SPECIAL: Fourth and Field
Parking and Location
SAS members with telescopes will be located near the area shown in red in the image on the left side of this page. Look for signs and glow sticks to direct the way. Visitors can park in the parking lot shown in blue. Please try to minimize the use of headlights when possible.
Tips and Information
Watch your step, the ground may be uneven in places, use a red LED flashlight or a flashlight covered in red cellophane, to help you find your way but not ruin the dark adaptation for those who are viewing through the telescopes. Dress warmly as the temperatures tend to drop off after dusk
