Wagman Observatory Star Party
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 11/22/2025
Come and enjoy an evening under the stars!
Amateur astronomers will be on hand with their telescopes to give you fantastic views of the moon, planets, and deep-sky objects. Bring your own telescope or binoculars for some friendly help, or simply come and look through ours. We'll even give you a guided tour of the night sky, pointing out constellations and answering your astronomy questions.
This is a free event and everyone is welcome.
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
Come and learn about the Wagman Observatory, the Amateur Astronomers Association of Pittsburgh and astronomy in general. The evening events consist of the following:
- There will be safe observing of the Sun.
- After sunset, don’t miss a chance to observe many deep sky objects may also be observed such as Ring Nebula and other nebulae, clusters and double stars.
- Do you have a new telescope or are you thinking about purchasing one but have some questions? Any of our friendly volunteers will be happy to help you with your setup or make recommendations for your first or next telescope.
The Wagman Observatory is handicap accessible. There is no charge for your visit, but we gladly accept donations to cover operating expenses. You don’t need a reservation and there is no group size limit.
