Although dark-sky etiquette is expected (see below), experienced members will be on hand to help newcomers learn the ropes.

The Third Quarter Star Party is for SAS newcomers and members only and will be on Saturday, July 15, 2017, at 9:00 p.m. if weather permits.

All vehicles must display a valid Discover Pass.
