Event

Norman North High School Astronomy Classes and Club frequently hold night viewing events for students to actually see the universe at night, instead of just learning about it sitting in a classroom.

These are held at;
Washington Elementary School
600 48th Avenue SE, Norman, OK 73026

Observing Field is due West of the Main Parking Lot at Washington Elementary!

This has long been supported by a few OKCAC members, but more are always welcome! These events last about an hour. If you bring a telescope, the field is usually open at least 15 minutes before hand for setup.

If you live in the South OKC or Norman area, please consider coming to help out with these! 

The next event is going to be at 7pm, 15 Jan 26. Check back right before you leave home to ensure it will be held.

Both weather, and lack of students signing up for the event, can cause cancellations.

Date: Thursday, January 15, 2026

Time: 7 p.m. Central

Location: Washington Elementary School
600 48th Avenue S.E.
Norman, OK 73071

Information for Visitors
Instructions for the Public:

Keep in mind that a Star Party is a weather-dependent event.

  • Dress for the weather. Washington Elementary is on the East side of Norman and the area may be 10 degrees below the in-town temperature…
  • We advise dressing in layers to include long pants, a jacket, a warm hat, socks & sturdy shoes.
  • If you bring flashlights, we will provide red coverings to dim the lights reaching your eyes.
