About
Tour the night skies at Westcave Preserve, a dark sky location convenient to Austin. Star Party nights are an ideal opportunity to enjoy an evening gazing at the stars through a high quality telescope.
With local astronomers on hand to answer questions, you'll be delighted and amazed by what you see and learn!
The star party will occur in our parking lot on pavement. You are welcome to bring portable chairs and blankets to the telescope viewing area. Snacks and beverages are allowed in the viewing area, but please consume them away from the telescopes and take your trash home with you. No glass please! Water is highly recommended as water will not be available.
Maintaining night vision is important and using a red filtered flashlight is the best way you can help. Please refrain from using any other lights, camera flashes or cellphones. If your child has light up shoes, please cover the light area with thick tape or have them wear a different pair of shoes.
