Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association (TAAA) invites you to an evening of star gazing at Saguaro National Park – West -- Red Hills Visitors Center, 2700 N Kinney Rd.
Located on the far West side of town on the other side of the Tucson mountains, this location has very dark skies from horizon to horizon.
Event is put on by Saguaro National Park -West which has been designated an Urban Night Sky Park in 2023.
Introductory talks will be given starting at 5pm by the National Park Service (NPS), DarkSky International, and NOIRLab (Kitt Peak), prior to telescope viewing. Park staff will guide visitors on short walks through the Javelina Wash to discuss the night sky, and they are also hoping to include Indigenous storytelling.
The TAAA will have several Telescopes set up to view Stars, Nebulas, Galaxies, Planets and more starting at 6:30pm arranged around the entrance walkway.
The event is free and open to the public, but NPS admission fees apply.
