Without their support this event would have been impossible to hold. Our list of door prizes shows the generosity of our donors to advance astronomy and related sciences. The Spokane Astronomical Society enjoys bringing the stars, planets and moon to the public. Several times a year we host a big public star party at a location in and around Spokane. It is free to the public.
Many members bring their telescopes for all to view through.
At Star Gaze 99 we were up on Five Mile. Twenty telescopes of every size and shape were set up around the edge of an open field. KXLY, Channel 4 Television, paid us a visit and did a spot on us for the 5 pm and 6 pm news. As darkness came upon us the family groups arrived in earnest. The air filled with voices of delight and the words of discovery.
