Star Parties are scheduled events hosted by Muskegon Astronomical Society members. All visitors are welcomed. There is no charge, but donations are greatly appreciated. We will be viewing the night sky with our telescopes. If it is cloudy, we might give a tour of the facility or do a presentation. We’ll try to introduce you to amateur astronomy and have plenty of handouts on how to get started.
 
Feel free to bring your own telescope. We're here to help you get started and make adjustments. Our viewing pads have electrical outlets.

If weather conditions are questionable, contact us to find out the status of a particular event.

Come equipped. Flashlights can be helpful for finding your way around in the dark, but should be kept directed toward the ground so as not to interfere with observing activities. Insect repellent and warm clothing (particularly for feet, head and hands) are strongly encouraged during appropriate seasons. While the clubhouse has heat and A/C, the rest of the facility is open to the night air.
 
If you wish to visit our facility at another date and time, wish to bring a group to an open house or wish to schedule a special open house, please contact us before the next regular meeting so we can schedule the manpower needed.
