Hawaiian Astronomical Society

Free public star party at our dark sky site (Dillingham Airfield in Mokuleia). Come join us under the stars. We provide the telescopes and you get to look at really cool stuff like globular clusters, double stars, galaxies and nebulae! Don't know what these are? You'll find out if you come and join us under the stars.

Please read our "Star Party Etiquette" page before coming out to the party.

Please note: The club has lost its permission to include a lock on the gate at Dillingham Airfield so we must now work with the guard to let us in and out.  It is strongly recommended that you get there before the gate closes at around 6:00 p.m.. At present the guard staff at the airfield has agreed to open the gate at 8:30 p.m., and again at 10:30 p.m.. We will no longer have free access and exit at Dillingham. We hope to have a more permanent fix to this problem in the future and ask for your understanding and cooperation.

Come join us under the stars. We provide the telescopes and you get to look at really cool stuff! The moon will be prominent in the sky, and we'll find other neat stuff to show you, too!

You'll find out if you come and join us under the stars.
