Star light, star bright,
First star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight.
We had a great time last night at the Silver Falls Star Party. It was held at the Ranch facility at Silver Falls State Park, hosted by the Park staff and Nightsky45. Nightsky 45 is the Salem Oregon Astronomy Club which meets the first Wednesday of the month at Chemeketa Community College Planetarium. Informed speakers from the club used lasers to point out star clusters. There were all kinds of telescopes on hand as well. I can find the Big Dipper, but that's about it. Club members can find and explain almost everything up there. There was coffee and cocoa as well. Interested in the stars? Visit their website and get more information. More events are coming up. Well worth the trouble.
