We went for the Star Party. The moon that night rose after midnight giving us a dark sky full of stars. The evening starts with the "constellation tour" where they point out the important constellations and explain a lot about the night sky. It is extremely well done - interesting and informative for all but those who already know astronomy well. After that you get to see various planets, constellations and such through six large telescopes - around 20-25" diameter. There were four of us in our group and the Star Party was a high point for every one of us.
