| Local Star Parties |
The SAS holds public observing sessions, or "Star Parties," every month at two locations - Green Lake in Seattle and Cromwell Park (just north of Seattle). Members set up their telescopes at dusk. Viewing is always free and open to anyone, since we believe that all should be able to experience the wonders of the sky. More details can be found here.
