DELAWARE ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY (DAS)
|
The Delaware Astronomical Society (DAS) sponsors a number of Star Parties
(up to one a month) at Mount Cuba Astronomical Observatory (MCAO). These are
occasions where DAS members and guests bring their telescopes and/or binoculars
to share with others or just come to look through other people's observing
equipment. It is a wonderful opportunity for amateur astronomers (from just
beginning to advanced) to learn a lot and have a great time. For example, the
person who is trying to decide what should be the type of his/her first,
second, third, ... telescope or binoculars can see first hand how the different
types handle the viewing of each of planets, deep sky objects, ... .
STAR PARTIES AT MT. CUBA:
DAS Star Parties will be held at Mount Cuba on these dates, weather permitting:
