Join us for a night of stargazing, education, and reveling under dark Harpswell skies. Harpswell Recreation and HHLT are partnering with Southern Maine Astronomers (SMA) to provide a guided tour of October skies.

Friday, October 24 at Mitchell Field.
Program arrival starts at 6:00 PM and programs start at 6:30 PM with an introduction to dark skies, what people can do at home, and the citizen science of Globe at Night. 
  • Once it is dark enough, SMA will provide views through a variety of telescopes as well as a laser-pointer tour of visible constellations.
  • Dress warmly and please, only red-light flashlights.
  • Participants do not need to stay for the entire program, but are welcome to stay and stargaze until 9 p.m.
  • If you arrive when it is dark, please park behind the Administration Building (first brick building on the waterfront) so your headlights do not interfere with the stargazing.
We are encouraging people to RSVP for this event for our record-keeping purposes, but feel free to come and bring friends even if you decide to join last minute.
