SAC Fall Star Party on Friday, 11-Sept-2026 6 to 10 PM
Salina Astronomy Club (SAC) will host a FREE observing session at The Land Institute (TLI), which is less than 6 miles (or 12 minutes) away from KWU. We will be safely observing the Sun, its sunspots and prominences; from 6 PM to 7 PM. After sunset at 7:45 PM, we will look for our sister planet, Venus. Participate in Constellation/ Asterism Identification from 8:15 to 9 PM. After 9 PM Deep Sky Objects; such as Andromeda Galaxy(M31), Great Cluster in Hercules(M13), and others will be good binocular/telescope targets. Lastly, the distant ice giant, Neptune, may be visible about 25 deg above the eastern horizon at 10 PM. Of course, if observing conditions are unfavorable, then observing session at TLI will be canceled. Check the SAC website the afternoon of the Star Party for weather updates. ALL are welcome. Come and go as you wish to our FREE program.
