Under the stars

Fern Hollow Nature center is offering a free night with the stars -- the ones in the sky.

For the first time, the Amateur Astronomers Association of Pittsburgh will host a star party at the center from 9:30 p.m. to midnight on July 23.

The evening will begin with refreshments and possibly a short program about astronomy inside the nature center.

At 10 p.m., participants will venture outdoors to watch the stars come out and the moon come up at 11:17 p.m.

Rain date is July 24, and if conditions are doubtful, those wishing to attend are asked to call the nature center at 412-741-6136 to confirm if the party will be held or postponed.

There is no charge, but donations to AAAP will be appreciated.

Members of the group will set up telescopes, answer questions and give a guided tour of the sky -- an introduction to the constellations and brighter stars.

Participants will be able to look at stars, planets, deep sky objects and the moon, through a telescope or binoculars.

They also are encouraged to just lay back and watch for meteors and watch the constellations.

Participants are asked to avoid headlights or flashlights in the field area.

Any flashlights should have a red lens or red film over them.
