SUNSET: 
Upcoming Astronomy Events
As a service to our community, Sky & Telescope lists astronomy-related events, including star parties, observatory public nights, astronomy talks, and more. Star parties offer dark skies and astronomical fellowship and often cater to families and feature special activities for kids. Public nights give the general public a chance to view the sky through large telescopes, and public talks are a great place to learn the fundamentals of the science and the craft.
You’ll also see online events offered here.
And if you’d like free copies of Sky & Telescope’s Let’s Go Stargazing flyer or door prizes for your next star party, you can fill out this form.
How to Choose & Use Your Telescope (A Free, In-Person Lecture)
June 30 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm EDT
Free
Learn about the wonders of your universe! Do you have a telescope but don’t know how to use it? Or is the one you have broken? Or are you looking to buy a telescope? If you answered YES to any of these questions, then this event is for you! On Tuesday, June 30th, starting at 7:30 PM, join Hamptons Observatory at the East Hampton Library for this free program. Dan Higgins, veteran amateur astronomer, a Fellow in the Royal Astronomical Society, and the founder of AstroWorld Telescopes, will answer your questions and provide hands-on help. Feel free to bring your telescope. If weather permits, afterwards we’ll all go outside to put your new knowledge to work and do some stargazing. Details and registration information may be found on https://HamptonsObservatory.org
