STAR PARTY!!

Have you ever wanted to explore the night sky using a powerful telescope? Do you have questions about setting up and using your own telescope? Do you simply long to be out under a dark sky with knowledgeable people to answer your questions? If so, you should attend a star party!

The Astronomical Society of Northern New England (ASNNE) is a group of amateur astronomers dedicated to bringing the beauty of the night sky to the public. They hold monthly star parties that allow you to view the sky as you've never seen it before - through their wide array of telescopes.

For more information please call: 1-207-646-4831
