Sky watch with Marin Stargazers

  • China Camp, Back Ranch Meadows Campground 730 North San Pedro Road San Rafael, CA, 94901 United States (map)

For a special after-hours treat, join the amateur astronomers of Marin Stargazers for an evening viewing brilliant treasures of the night sky. Telescopes will be available and trained on some of the night’s celestial standouts. 

Come peer at the stunning mountains and craters of this month’s half-moon, as well as the eye-popping rings around Saturn. Count Jupiter’s four largest moons, and spy the magical nebula, where new stars are born, within the mighty Orion constellation. Bundle up and come out to see these remarkable sights and more. 

Space is limited; registration is required. Cancellations notified via email.
