Portland-area Public Star Parties
If you would like to be on my Star Party e-mail list, send me a note saying so. Just put Star Party in the subject line. I tend to not plan star parties more than a few days in advance.
Next Portland Area Star Party: Stay tuned.
If you are bringing a telescope, send me an email to let me know, and show up early to get set up before it gets dark.
Come back here after 5:00 pm on the day of the star party for a final Go/No Go decision.
Gabriel Park is in SW Portland. Gabriel Park Star Pareties are at the basketball court in the northeast corner of Gabriel Park. Best access is from the SW Vermont Street and 42nd Avenue. Free. No registration required.
Stub Stewart State Park is about 45 minutes west of downtown Portland, Oregon. You need an annual state park pass or pay the parking fee. You need a free Stargazing Permit to be in the park after dark. The observing field is at the Hilltop Day Use Area. PLEASE arrive before dark. Use your car lights as little as possible when leaving
If you have not been to one of my star parties before go to Star Parties General to learn what you need to know.
