WESTERN NEBRASKA STAR GAZE VI Friday, September 30th & Saturday, October, 1st The Panhandle Astronomy Club invites you to join us at the historic Agate Fossil Beds National Park for a laid-back weekend of stargazing and socializing. The Western Nebraska Star Gaze is a time to share, to relax and enjoy our heavens. It’s a time for amateurs, professionals, families and friends to come together to compare telescopes, techniques, observing goals and to promote astronomy. A time to share the night sky, our experiences and stellar sights with others. It is good clean fun for all ages. Our observing site provides some of Western Nebraska’s darkest skies with light pollution at a minimum. The Milky Way is easily visible from this location and the viewing compares nicely to that of other Star Parties. The Western Nebraska Star Gaze is open to anyone interested in astronomy. You do not need to own a telescope in order to attend. The Weekend is sponsored by the Panhandle Astronomy Club located in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. The club officers and volunteers have worked hard to make this event happen and hope everyone has a great time.
