APRIL 30TH STAR PARTY - BACK TO BASICS
On April 30, 2022 the Amateur Astronomy Group will be hosting a Star party at
the Oliver Lee State Park located south of Alamogordo 7pm to 10pm. Entry and
memberships are free. This area was chosen for the dark skies away from
city lights, but still close to Alamogordo. This is part of a great
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education activity
to experience the night sky through telescopes and other equipment.
Telescopes NOT required. Bring your own equipment if you have it! Everyone
is welcome, especially families and youngsters.
Please park in the area to the left of the gate unless you have mobility
issues or a telescope.
