Join us and members of the Champaign County Astronomical Society at our International Dark Sky Park for a fall star watch event!

At 7 p.m., there will be a brief presentation. CUAS volunteers will have telescopes set up for participants to look through to view the stars, planets, and more! Weather permitting, the program will go until 11 p.m., but you may leave when you wish. You may wish to bring insect repellent and something to drink, as well as a lawn chair or picnic blanket for star gazing after the presentation.
