Milky May Magic: A Star Party
Saturday, August 10th, 9:00 p.m. - Sunday, August 11th, 12:00 a.m.
Glendening Park, Northwest Football Field (Field 8)
Frostburg, MD 21532
Join us and our cohost, the Cumberland Astronomy Club, for an evening of viewing celestial objects in our Milky Way Galaxy. You'll be able to see stellar nurseries, star clusters, and stellar remnants. There might be a few guest appearances from other nearby galaxies and a few Perseid meteors. We'll provide star charts, telescopes, and help using them. If you want to setup your own telescope, arrive between 8:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. There are many things to find in binoculars if you want to bring those as well.
If the weather is unfavorable, we'll announce a cancellation by 7:00 p.m. on the day of the event at www.frostburg.edu/mlc.
Star party etiquette:
Only red light is allowed on the football field, except for green lasers for pointing out astronomical objects. Minimize your use of white light while getting in and out of your vehicle and on the way to the field. We'll provide red cellophane and rubber bands for your mobile devices and flashlights.
