Our Star Parties

 Hurricane Ridge

The OAS hosts several star parties every year. During the summer, around the new moon, we have our star party up at Hurricane Ridge in the heart of the Olympic Mountains. This is a one-night event in an extremely dark site overlooking Mount Olympus and the neighboring mountains. The southern skies are excellent not to mention the awesome beauty of the mountains! This is a free star party, except for the entrance fee to the Olympic National Park.

Camp Delany Star Party

 

Our semi-annual 4-night event is our Camp Delany Star Party hosted in the beautiful Sun Lakes State Park at their environmental learning center. This party occurs in the spring and the fall. There is a fee to attend but all your meals are provided and bunkhouses are available as well as hot showers! This dark site is in Eastern Washington and the views are endless. It is quite the friendly, family-oriented affair! Come and join us for loads of fun!

  1. Hello Sean, I do not know of any classes but I was told that one of the best resources is a book called “Building a Dobsonian” by Dave Kriege and Richard Berry. Highly recommended.

  2. Hi, I was wondering if anyone up at the OAS knew any good telescope making or mirror making classes in the area? I am interested in making my own telescope and any insights would be appreciated 🙂

  3. Is there anyone in kitsap county that can repair telescope. May be something simple, but not sure. Something tweaked in a move.
