GATEWAY TO YOUR COSMIC ADVENTURE

The adult capacity for any Dark Texas Skies' star party is 16. We strive for everyone to have an exceptional cosmic adventure in a darkened and serene atmosphere. A smaller group also allows all attendees to have ample time at the telescope and binoculars and to have questions thoughtfully answered.

A star party is an outdoor event. Thus, it may be necessary to cancel a star party because of inclement weather, such as windy conditions (10+ mph), cloudy/overcast skies, thunder & lightning, snow, or rain. Therefore, if a star party is canceled, then 100% of your prepaid reservation money will be refunded within 24 hours.

Please be on time for your reservation to be honored. If you do not attend when the scheduled star party begins and have not canceled your reservation(s) 12 hours beforehand, a refund will not be forthcoming. It is solely your responsibility to be on time. Please note that the star party's start time is in local Central Time.

Several future greyed-out calendar dates are non-selectable. During these nights, the Moon's brilliance dominates the nighttime skies, making the beautiful celestial objects impossible to observe. Future dates may also be greyed out because the adult capacity of 16 has been met.

Don't drive hundreds of miles to enjoy the dark skies only to miss out on the celestial wonder and beauty as seen through a telescope and binoculars. Clear explanations by the host accompany what is being observed. Star parties generally last for 2-3 hours and are fun for the entire family. So, take time now and make your reservation(s).

Be sure to check our Moon Phase Calendar for the best nights.

HOW TO MAKE A RESERVATION

Before you make your reservation(s), kindly take a moment to read the following important information.

First, select below the number of adults, including yourself, who will be attending the star party. The default is "1" adult and admission is $10.00. If an additional adult(s) will be attending, then select the number of total adults in the "Quantity" area. Otherwise, you are making a reservation for only 1 adult.

Next, choose a month and day. A reservation may be made 180 days in advance. The remaining adult spots are displayed below the time when the star party begins. Your party's total number of adults cannot exceed the capacity limit. After selecting your date, click on the time when the star party begins, and a new section opens where you will enter the necessary information and make your secure payment transaction.

You may reschedule or cancel your reservation(s) up to 12 hours before the star party begins. Reservations may be made until adult capacity is reached or until the star party begins.

By making a reservation(s), you are agreeing that you have read and understood the above information.
