Audra and I went to this the year before last and it was a lot of fun. They have lectures throughout the day and if the sky’s clear, lots of various club members bring out their telescopes for an open-to-the-public star party.

(And if it’s overcast, there are two or three fun star parties a month in the DFW area. Maybe we should do a meetup at one at some point.)

Hey would love to do a meet up at a star party. My kid (7) would be all over this. We haven’t joined in before since I’m but not sure that the Irish Rover patrons would approve of his presence.
