Star Party

Know Analog

Learn about the night sky at an amateur astronomy star party!

This program is intended for ages 9+. All children must be accompanied by a caregiver.

Find constellations, Saturn, a nebula, and even a galaxy in the Central Oregon night sky!

Join Ken Wisian, Meena Balakrishnan, and Deschutes Public Library to learn about the stars! No experience necessary – just come and enjoy looking up at night. Two telescopes will be available for use and we will find and explore numerous wonders in the night sky.

Things to bring:

• Good binoculars (if you have them)
• A blanket or a chair
• Your own telescope (if you have it)
