KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Have you ever wanted to see the rings of Saturn? How about a distant galaxy? What about a simple Moonshot?

Join us at Taylor Observatory-Norton Planetarium for a free star party for all ages on Friday, May 17.

The event will take place from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the observatory, 5725 Oak Hills Lane, Kelseyville.

As they wait for it to get dark, they will start with a simple planetarium presentation that will show you what to expect that night.

Then they will teach you how to read a star map and give you your very own sky map.

After dark, they will have telescopes set up for your viewing enjoyment.

Amateur astronomers are encouraged to bring their telescopes and share their knowledge with the general public.

If you intend to bring your scope, they want to ensure you have a great setup location. Please register your telescope online at http://www.lakecoe.org/calendar/details/spring_star_party/2013-05-17 .
