WVAC’s flagship community star party transforms Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery into a shared observing field for newcomers, families, and seasoned amateurs. No registration is required, and participants are encouraged to arrive at the start so introductions and an overview can begin. Bring a telescope for hands-on guidance and tips, or explore the night sky through members’ instruments. Telescopes marked with red lanterns indicate hosts ready to share views, and asking “Whatchya Looking at?” is the friendly prompt to learn what is in the eyepiece. Experienced observers can connect with fellow astronomers and the wider community, while every attendee is welcomed on arrival by a WVAC member who explains how the evening works. Parking is in the USFWS Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery lot outside the gate, which will be partially closed. Do not drive beyond the gate unless prior permission from staff and the club has been given, such as for telescope setup. The observing area sits just beyond the main building, about 50 yards from the lot, along the main roadway marked by a red illuminated sign board. During the program, avoid white light; red-lensed lights are fine, with white light reserved for emergencies. Dress for changing weather and possible wind, and consider insect repellent. Restrooms may be available in the main building when USFWS staff are present. Admission is free, and voluntary donations support the Friends of the Hatchery nonprofit in installing a Sky Quality Meter to track light pollution over time. The star party is weather dependent, and cancellations will be posted on the event calendar.
