Public Star Parties

Star Parties are, simply, when a group of people gte together to look at the stars together. Usually there are club members who bring telescopes or binoculars to let attendees look at various objects of interest in the night sky.

The FWAS club has a number of recurring and other events every month. 

FWAS club members volunteer their time and telescopes to educate the public about the night sky.

Star parties are also excellent opportunities for those new to astronomy as they give the beginner a chance to use different kinds of equipment or ask experienced club members for assistance with their own equipment.

Free monthly public star parties are held at the Tandy Hills Natural Area hosted by members of FWAS. The parties begin at dusk, weather permitting, and last until approximately 10:00 pm.

Please check the Tandy Hills Natural Area web site for details as dates and times may change.

In addition there is a monthly star party at Dinosaur Valley State Park
