We will also be identifying the summer constellations. As always, we will also be observing DSO's (Deep Sky Objects) like star clusters, nebulae and other galaxies like our own Milky Way.

It will take place at the starting point of the Disc Golf Course, from 8-10 p.m.

Astronomy programs are free to all. The usual parking fee at the park applies.

If the weather is “iffy” call 941 544-3420 after 6 p.m. that day for an update.
