Mt. Tam Star Party

San Francisco Amateur Astronomers will give us a tour of the springtime constellations and offer telescope viewing.

We will observe the crescent Moon, the Beehive and Coma star clusters, double stars like Castor and Algieba, and distant galaxies in Virgo, Leo, and Ursa Major.

Please dress warmly and bring binoculars and a dim red flashlight if you have one. We will keep the observing area as dark as possible so we can see the stars, and faint galaxies through the telescopes.

Parents please ensure children are supervised around delicate optical equipment. See the weblink for more information from the Friends of Mount Tam and to register. Capacity is limited.

Location: Rock Spring Trailhead Parking Area at Mount Tamalpais
