As promised the event description to be posted to the general public is as follows.

I plan to be there an hour in advance to set up for each event. I am planning on getting traffic cones from the town of Madison to block our observing area and we've had a club member volunteer for parking control.

Please note the map link at the very bottom which will show the observing area /public and astronomer parking/ etc...

The Shoreline Astronomical Society (SAS), a local 501(c)(3), has organized quarterly star parties at Salt Meadow Park (1362 Boston Post Road Madison, CT 06443), which are free and open to the public. People of all ages and backgrounds, including children, are welcome.?

Please join us for the opportunity to look through different types of telescopes, get hands-on experience using a club telescope, and discuss observing, telescopes, and all things astronomical.?

Some helpful notes to get the most from our Star Parties:

• Please join us early in the event if possible to avoid light from car headlights

• If you bring a flashlight, please bring a red light to preserve visual dark adaption

• Please leave your canine companions at home for this event; even well-behaved pups on a leash can sometimes get tangled in observing equipment/tripods/legs in the dark

• Bring your binoculars or telescope (we can help you figure out how to use your equipment if you need help)

• If it is cloudy or otherwise unfavorable for observing please check our social media accounts or our website () for a weather cancellation up to 2 hours before the event.

• If the weather is ideal, please dress warmly, bring effective bug spray, and a warm drink
