one night at the Messier Star Party
interviews, solar, deep sky, bingo chaos, and way too much fun
hung out with legends, ran giveaways, imaged under stupidly good skies
zero regrets

Large telescope mounted inside a red-lit observatory dome under a starry night sky.
One day past the equilux, the Westport Observatory opens tonight at 8 PM for a final winter sky viewing. New moon means ideal conditions for galaxies, nebulae, and planets Venus, Jupiter, and Uranus. Dress warm. was-ct.org/programs/...

🌧️ We expect clouds, rain, and a chance of thunder this evening (3/11). Unfortunately the WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party is cancelled tonight. We'll try again next week! was-ct.org

Westport Observatory Director BOB MEADOWS optimistically believes there's a chance we could see some stars tonight 3/4, so the WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party is back on! If you see clouds at your home, it's best to find another activity. was-ct.org/programs/...

Star Party Update – March 4th
The Westport Observatory is socked in with clouds again tonight, so we're calling off this week's WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party. Mother Nature had other plans! See you next Wednesday.

Snow-covered observatory domes and equipment sit in a quiet, snowy field surrounded by bare trees under a clear sky.
Snow, snow… and more snow. We just dug out from the latest “Storm of the Century (This Week)” and now clouds seal the deal. The Westport Observatory is closed tonight, 2/25, for the WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party. We’ll aim for clearer skies next week!

Dark silhouette of leafless trees under a cloudy night sky with faint stars visible.
Clouds, drizzle, and general February murk mean the Westport Observatory will be closed tonight, 2/18. No stars. No planets. Gray.
We’ll be back next week for the WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party — and hopefully under something that actually resembles a sky.

A snowy observatory complex with a dome telescope and adjacent buildings at dusk, surrounded by bare trees and a darkening sky.
Some passing clouds, but we’re on for tonight’s WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party (2/11)! 🌌
We open after 8pm. No Moon = prime deep-sky hunting. Great views of Jupiter and Uranus in the scopes. was-ct.org/programs/...

Two small observatory domes covered in snow sit in a snowy clearing surrounded by leafless trees and evergreens.
Between the cold, clouds, and possible snow, the dome is staying shut tonight. Even astronomers have limits.
We’ll be back at it for the next WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party—clear skies pending.
