​​"It was fascinating looking at the stars and learning about them, the constellations, and planets. I liked having the sky chart and learning how to use it--very cool! Now I have developed a better informed appreciation for the dark night sky." ~Jana (2022)

Join Starshine for a one-hour Stargazing Tour, during which you'll enjoy the brilliance of Central Oregon's incredible night sky together with a guide. You'll hear an ancient story about the stars, locate constellations, and see visible planets, the moon, and other astronomical objects. Each group will receive and learn how to use a sky map, specialized to the month of viewing. ​

​

Stay after the tour for a glimpse into the deep sky through telescopes shared by Sisters Astronomy Club volunteers and Starshine. 

​

If this event cancels due to weather it will be rescheduled to Thursday September 25th at 7:30pm.

"Fabulous, intimate evening with the stars. Educational, cosmic, and rejuvenating to lie on blankets in the grass with other stargazers and look up at the sky together." ~Jennifer, 2024
