Join us for a public viewing night during the Fall Staunton River Star Party. Visitors will be parked at the Dan River boat ramp and bussed to the Observation Field; this lowers the impact of white light on your night vision. Meet our astronomers on the Observation Field to learn all about the dark skies of Staunton River State Park. You'll be amazed to see what you've been missing in the night sky!
