SUMMARY:Astronomy Night & Stargazing at SLO Botanical Gardens with Central Coast Astronomical Society
DESCRIPTION:Join the Central Coast Astronomical Society for a beginner-friendly Astronomy Night at the SLO Botanical Garden. \nThe evening begins at 7:00 pm with a live astronomy presentation\, where CCAS astronomers will guide you through the night sky and introduce objects we will observe that night. Then we’ll head outside to the telescope area for guided stargazing our friendly astronomers. \nThrough telescopes\, guests may see seasonal highlights such as globular star clusters\, colorful double stars\, different types of nebulae\, and other deep-sky objects\, depending on sky conditions. Targets include star clusters in Pegasus\, nebulae in Sagittarius and Lyra\, open clusters in Scorpius\, and multi-colored double stars in Cygnus. \nOur astronomers will help guests understand what they are seeing and answer questions along the way. Whether you’re brand new to astronomy or already love looking up\, this will be a fun and welcoming night under the stars. \nGuests are encouraged to arrive on time\, since the indoor presentation sets the stage for the telescope viewing and helps make the outdoor observing more meaningful. CCAS astronomers will provide telescopes\, and guests are welcome to bring binoculars and their sense of wonder. \nThis is a free event\, but reservations are required. A suggested $10 donation is appreciated to support the Garden. \nThis program is rain or shine. If clouds roll in\, we’ll move the experience indoors with engaging astronomy activities\, demonstrations\, and night-sky exploration for attendees ages 7 and older. Clear skies or not\, we’ll learn something new and enjoy an evening immersed in the wonders of the universe. \nStar Party Etiquette and Guidelines \nTo help everyone enjoy the night sky\, please avoid white lights after dark and use only minimal red light when necessary. Alcoholic beverages\, smoking\, and vaping are not permitted near the telescopes or stargazing areas. \nPlease wear sturdy shoes\, as we’ll be walking around telescope equipment in low light. For safety\, children must stay with their adult and follow telescope instructions. This program is recommended for ages 7 and older. \n* Please note: El Chorro Regional Park charges a $5 day-use fee to enter the park from March through October. Please carpool when possible and have cash ready to help expedite park entry. *
