Join us for an evening of star gazing and planet-watching.

Explore the night sky with the San Antonio Astronomical Association. We’ll be viewing many constellations and planets and learning about them. We hope to view Venus, Mars and Jupiter. We’ll also look for star clusters, nebula, and much more. Learn the basics of telescope operation. Bring your own telescope or binoculars or enjoy the sights from one of the SAAA’s telescopes. 

Park in Parking Lot A and walk the short distance to Parking Lot C where the telescopes will be set up. Dress for the weather. Bring water, a snack if you like, and your own flashlight with a red lens cover. Open to all ages; participants under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. No pets please.

Registration is NOT required. Though the activity is free, entrance fees to the Natural Area do apply. We often fill to capacity. To ensure entrance and save time at the Fee Booth, please pre-purchase and print out a day pass
