Our Star Parties

Camp Delany Star Party

Our semi-annual 4-night event is our Camp Delany Star Party hosted in the beautiful Sun Lakes State Park at their environmental learning center. This party occurs in the spring and the fall. There is a fee to attend but all your meals are provided and bunkhouses are available as well as hot showers! This dark site is in Eastern Washington and the views are endless. It is quite the friendly, family-oriented affair! Come and join us for loads of fun!

Hurricane Ridge

The OAS hosts several star parties every year. During the summer, around the new moon, we have our star party up at Hurricane Ridge in the heart of the Olympic Mountains. This is a one-night event in an extremely dark site overlooking Mount Olympus and the neighboring mountains. The southern skies are excellent not to mention the awesome beauty of the mountains! This is a free star party, except for the entrance fee to the Olympic National Park.

  2. Hi Dan,
    OAS isn’t currently utilizing the Port Gamble site for local star parties, but the site is open, and some individual members use the site. Many OAS members also participate in the Olympic Telescope program at Hurricane Ridge, (see the OAS calendar and check out http://www.olympictelescope.com for dates/times), and attend the OAS spring and fall star parties at Camp Delany.

  3. Does the Society have a connection with Port Gamble? I’m wondering if there is an arrangement to allow use of the open field just south of the Port Gamble community. I see there is a site attributed to the OAS on the app Clear Sky Chart. Dan.

  4. Hello Sean, I do not know of any classes but I was told that one of the best resources is a book called “Building a Dobsonian” by Dave Kriege and Richard Berry. Highly recommended.

  5. Hi, I was wondering if anyone up at the OAS knew any good telescope making or mirror making classes in the area? I am interested in making my own telescope and any insights would be appreciated 🙂

  6. Is there anyone in kitsap county that can repair telescope. May be something simple, but not sure. Something tweaked in a move.
