UF's Bat House

The AAC occasionally attempts to hold "mini public star parties" at the Bat House on Museum Road (North of Radio Road), and across from Lake Alice on the University of Florida Campus. People normally gather at sunset to watch the bats fly. This is a good opportunity to allow visitors to also glimpse the evening sky through AAC telescopes while waiting for the bats to fly. These star parties are normally planned for dates when a waxing moon is visible since this phase appears during early evening. [Lat. 29°38.6'N, Long. 82°21.8'W]

	Info
	Check star party page for bat house events
	Club members should bring telescopes
	Arrive early (before sunset) since telescopes must be set up for viewing during evening twilight before the bats fly (about 20 to 40 minutes after sunset)
	Event cancelled in case of cloudy weather
