| Description: |
Stansbury Days
Time: Sunset - 11pm
Please join the Salt Lake Astronomical Society volunteers as they set up their telescopes and invite the public to enjoy the view. This will be a special star party held in conjunction with Stansbury Days. SLAS is a proud member of the Stansbury Park community, and we want to invite everyone in the local are to join us.
If you've never been to a star party, here are some tips:
* Star parties are informal events (it is a party!). Please feel free to approach any telescope operator and ask what they are observing. Join in on the fun and introduce yourself to others.
* Taking a picture of what you see in a telescope with your cell phone is just about impossible. Also, the device may damage expensive eyepieces if it touches or scrapes the surface. Along with the bright lights phones produce, it is a good idea to keep the mobile devices stowed away.
* Families are encouraged to attend. |
