Local astronomers to host Starwatch

The Sisters Astronomy Club will host an evening under the stars on Saturday, August 19. Local amateur astronomers will bring their telescopes, eager to share with visitors many showpiece objects of the summer night sky.

Known as the Stars over Sisters Starwatch, the event will take place at the Sisters Park & Recreation District (SPRD) Coffield Center building and adjacent parking lot. The proceedings begin at 8 p.m. with a brief presentation. There is no charge for this event, and everyone is invited.

SPRD is located at 1750 McKinney Butte Road, at the west end of the Sisters High School parking lot.
