Star Party at Newton Reservoir Parking Lot, 18 July 2025

The Cache Valley Astronomical Society will be hosting a star party in support of the Utah Every Kid Outdoors Adventure Challenge. This event is free and is open to the entire family. In addition to telescopes where you look through an eyepiece we will also have smart telescopes which display the image on a screen. So even if you have a physical disability which prevents you from reaching an eyepiece – you will still get to observe the wonders of our beautiful universe!

This event will allow you to complete the Starry Skies Challenge

The star party will be held in the south end of the Newton Reservoir parking lot at 41 degrees 53′ 54″ North (41.89833) 111 degrees 58′ 24″ West (-111.97334). Observing will begin around 9:30pm. Since this is a star party, please avoid pointing white light flashlights at telescopes or other observers. If possible, please turn off any white light flashlights. This event may be cancelled in the case of inclement weather. Please check the website.
