Colorado Parks and Wildlife

CPW invited visitors to “See the beauty of the night sky through telescopes.”[2]

Volunteer astronomers from the Colorado Springs Astronomical Society brought multiple telescopes for views of stars, planets, galaxies and other night-sky objects. The event was held near the Visitor Center parking lot from 8:30–10:30pm.[2]

What visitors were asked to bring

CPW recommended layers for the cool evening, a red-light flashlight and low headlights when entering or leaving the parking area to protect night vision. No registration was required, but a park pass was required.[2]

Current status

The August 8 event has passed. Keep this as an archive of a confirmed CPW astronomy program and use the live park calendar for any future star party.[2]
