Movied this event one night out to Saturday, July 18th for better weather. 

This public Stargaze event is authorized by the City of Duvall Parks & Recreation Department.  The event is free of charge and located at Field # 2 of the Big Rock Ball Fields in Duvall (28460 NE Big Rock Road).
 
Experienced astronomer volunteers from the Seattle Astronomical Society (SAS) bring their telescopes to share with the public.  Everyone is welcome, including families with children.  Feel free to bring your own telescope!

8:30pm - 9:30pm - Telescope set up.  Bring your own telescope and ask Seattle Astronomical Society volunteers for help and ask any questions.    

9:30pm - 1:00am - Public Stargazing on Field # 2 - Highlights to include Venus, the crescent Moon (sets early!), open star clusters, globular clusters, double stars, nebula, and galaxies. Field # 1 (the NE field farthest from the road) is reserved for all astrophotography.

Please practice good dark sky etiquette when attending this event. Park in the lower lot near the street.  If that lot is full please park in the lot as far from the middle field as you can and turn off your headlights when driving in the parking lot after dark (use your parking lights only).  Bring red flashlights only, or cover your flashlight with red light filter film or a red translucent plastic.  It can take 20-40 minutes for night vision to be restored if a bright white light illuminates the telescope field.

If weather conditions force cancellation or postponement of an event, an update will be posted no later than 12:00pm the day of the event.

Please note that no food or drink are allowed on the fields.
