This public Stargaze event is authorized by the City of Snoqualmie Parks & Recreation Department.  The event is free of charge and located at 37580 Winery Road, Snoqualmie WA 98065
 
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!
 
9:00pm - 10:30pm - Setup - Bring your own telescope and Seattle Astronomical Society members can help you out and answer your questions.

10:30pm - 12:30AM - Stargazing - Highlights to include open star clusters, globular clusters, double stars, nebula, galaxies, and planets.

Please practice good dark sky etiquette when attending this event. Park away from the cul-de-sac out to the lower road.  Parking is limited so turn off your headlights when driving in the parking lot after dark (use your parking lights if you must). Drive slowly and expect walking pedestrians including children. Exercise extreme caution. 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.

We will try to maintain separation between  areas reserved for astrophotographers for visual observers and stargazing. 

Check the SAS website (www.seattleastro.org) for stargazing event status.  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.
