This is a Virginia Peninsula Astronomy / Stargazers - VPAS event and we are helping advertise it to bring awareness to the public in Hampton Roads. Especially if you live on the north side of the bridge tunnels. This is VPAS's monthly scheduled observing session at York River State Park.
Join VPAS for a night of stargazing at York River State Park!
The event is open to the public and starts at sunset. We will be in the field to the right of the visitor center. The park entrance fee is $4 per car, payable at the self-pay station. In the case of cancellation due to weather, we will add a post to the VPAS Facebook page.
Thank you to York River State Park for allowing us to share the joy of astronomy with the community.
NOTE: if there is another event on the VPAS or BBAA calendars, this is an additional event and it does not supersede nor replace any other event.

Observing Site:
After entering the park (the entrance fee is waived for amateur astronomers), the participating amateur astronomers should drive to & enter the ‘right’ parking lot. At the back/riverside corner of the lot, take the “No Admittance” gravel road/path (we are allowed to drive on it) to the observing site where you may park & unload.
VPAS ask that members of the public who are attending to please park in designated visitor parking & walk to the site so there is enough space for the amateur astronomers to transport & park next to their gear on the observing field.
