The Astronomy Club of Tulsa in collaboration with the City of Tulsa Parks Department will offer a free public telescope observing night at Hunter Park on Friday, May 30 from 8:00 to 10:00 PM.  This is a public come-and-go event.   The entrance to Hunter Park is located off 91st Street between Yale and Sheridan. ( 5804 E 91st ST )   Turn into the park and follow the road south to the large elevated concrete labyrinth pad near the playground and picnic shelter. You may want to bring along a lawn chair if you plan to stay the whole evening. 

         The event is FREE and OPEN to the PUBLIC but you are welcome to make a donation to help us continue "Bringing the Stars to Eyes of Tulsa since 1937"


Astronomy Club member volunteers will have  telescopes set up for our guests to enjoy to view the waxing crescent Moon and the planets Jupiter and Mars.    Jupiter with its cloud bands and four Galilean moons lie low in the western sky in Taurus.  The moon is in Cancer and Mars is just entering Leo.  Other night sky treasures include star cluster, nebulae, and galaxies.   You are welcome to browse among the telescopes and visit with our members.  If you have a telescope and need advise on how to set it up or operate it properly, feel free to bring your telescope to the park. 

  Members of the Astronomy Club will be available to give advise to use your telescope to enjoy viewing night sky objects.
