The Lake County Astronomical Society Star Party

  • September 21, 2012
  • Volo Bog Nature Center, Ingleside

Weather permitting, each public LCAS LCAS meeting is followed by a star party, which is when the club members bring their telescopes and let the public and other members look through them. This is an opportunity for club members to share their enjoyment of the night sky with you and to demonstrate their telescopes. If you are considering the purchase of a telescope, this is the perfect time to see what your money can buy, what the different telescope designs look like, and the kinds of views you can achieve with the equipment. The star parties are held in the parking lot of the Volo Bog Nature Center.

 

The meeting format is:

  • 7:30 - 8:15 Business meeting
  • 8:30 - 9:30 Public Astronomy program (indoors)
  • 9:30 - .... Public Star Party (if weather permits)

The public is always welcome, no registration required.  Additional details here.
