You do not have to know anything about astronomy or telescopes to attend AAC star parties nor do you need to bring a telescope!
Club members are often amenable to helping beginners learn about the sky and sharing their telescope viewing time.
  • Star parties on the calendars above are for AAC dues-paid members and their guests.  If you'd like to attend a star party before becoming a member (try before you buy), please contact the star party chair.  Please be sure to understand the appropriate "Star Party Etiquette" before attending.


  • Star parties begin shortly before sunset.  Some star parties feature a short presentation at or before sunset, so don't be late!


  • Star parties are sometimes cancelled due to poor weather.   Cancellation notices are posted to the AAC-L by 3pm the day of the star party.  If you are unable to check your email, call the star party coordinator after 3pm.
