What is a Star Party?
A star party is an overnight excursion at a dark sky location. This is a chance for amateur astronomers to spend the night chasing targets they want to add to their observing list and/or astrophotography album. It is a chance for astronomers to hang out with other astronomers and share experiences and knowledge.
