Superstition Mountain Astronomical League
2013-2014 Schedule of Public Events (Revised 27-Sep-2013)

The Superstition Mountain Astronomical League is a group of amateur astronomers residing in
the Gold Canyon/Apache Junction area. Each year, members of the "League" conduct a series
of open house public astronomical observing sessions, called "star parties", to provide the
community with telescopic views of celestial objects and to answer any questions about
astronomy and astronomical equipment. In short, this is an opportunity to see the moon,
planets, star clusters, galaxies and other astronomical phenomena using sophisticated
telescopes and to talk with very knowledgeable and experienced astronomers. No fee is
required at Peralta Trail Elementary School. A $7 per vehicle park entrance fee is assessed by
Lost Dutchman State Park.

The schedule for this year's observing season (fall, winter, spring) is shown below. All events
are held on a weather permitting basis. I.e., we need clear skies; no rain or a few clouds at
most. (You can join a mailing list to be notified of any cancellations or schedule changes.)
