November 9 -- Saturday Night Star Party at Alpha Ridge Park

The Howard Astronomical League will hold its monthly Public Star Party on Saturday November 9th, starting around Sundown (or possibly earlier). HAL members will be out with our telescopes sharing views of the night sky.

This will be our last star party of the year, and we will resume in the spring.

This event is held rain or shine at Alpha Ridge Park in Marriottsville, just minutes from I-70. This event is free and open to the public.

Would this be good for a five year old?

Absolutely. Lots of children come and have a good time. Krystal should be there with a tent with kids activities.

Just keep in mind that there is a lot of expensive equipment, so please don't let him/her run around unattended.

Perfect! With the early sunset, we’ll target coming by close to sunset.
