The group will meet on the Swim Pond grounds at Lake Elmo Park Reserve.

Get to know the constellations like The Big Bear, Cygnus the Swan, Scorpius the Scorpion, and some of the stories behind them. View natural wonders of the sky – constellations, planets, star clusters, galaxies, nebulae, and more.

Visitors will use large reflecting telescopes, including two 20-inch reflectors that are among the biggest mobile telescopes in Minnesota, and a new astronomical camera-telescope system for views of the more distant parts of the universe. Participants will receive user-friendly star maps and constellation charts for personal use.
