River of Stars - May 9-10, 2008

Relax at the Leavenworth Inn in historic Leavenworth, Indiana for two nights as The Louisville Astronomical Society hosts inn guests at the new James G. Baker Center for Astronomy classroom at their Dark Sky Site in Curby, Indiana, just a few miles from the Inn. They will then open their roll-off roof observatory for a special viewing of Saturn and the Quarter Moon as they float on a River of Stars.

There you will see the Craters of the Moon, the Orion Nebula and the Rings of Saturn through your own scope or look through the society's giant 16" Meade Reflector Telescope in their roll-off roof observatory.

Includes:

  • Two Nights Accommodations.
  • One Hour Lesson in the LAS Classroom on Friday night on observing the River of Stars and Telescope Instruction.
  • Two viewing sessions at the LAS James G. Baker Center for Astronomy in Curby, Indiana. (subject to weather)
  • The famous Overlook Restaurant is right across the street.
  • Private time away from the kids- priceless!
