Join your neighbors at the lower parking lot at Marsh Creek State Park in Eagle, Chester County for exciting evenings exploring the wonders of the heavens.

Watch a sunset become a star-laced sky, view planets, star clusters and galaxies using our members’ telescopes and live view star cameras. There will be activities to thrill and challenge all ages, so don’t miss out!

This event is free of charge provided to the community by your neighbors who are members of the Chesmont Astronomical Society.
