About the Event

There  will be a free public viewing night at the Whiterock Conservancy Star  Field on SATURDAY, September 4th starting at 7:30pm. Members of the  public are invited to attend. After the talk, some astronomer  participants in the star party welcome folks to take a look through  their various telescopes at all the  Iowa skies have to offer. If the  weather is clear, visitors will have the chance to see numerous  different galaxies, nebulas and stars millions of light years away, as  well as some of the planets in our cosmic back yard, the Solar System.  All ages are welcome, and appropriate attire for the weather and a  blanket are recommended.

***COVID-19  UPDATE: All members of the public will be required to wear masks and to  socially distance when looking through the telescopes or in line to  look through the telescopes. We will also encourage them to wear masks  when congregating with persons who are not their family members,  although taking this precaution will have to be their responsibility***
