The clouds have taken over again this week! Unfortunately, the WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party for tonight, May 13th, is CANCELLED due to overcast skies. We know it's disappointing — we're bummed too! But clear skies are ahead, and we hope to see you out under the stars next week at the Westport Observatory. Stay tuned for updates!

All that rain you're seeing today? That will keep the Westport Observatory CLOSED tonight, 5/6. Maybe we can open for the next WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party! We hope to see you then. https://was-ct.org/

Tonight's Star Party - Clouded Out!
The clouds have their plans tonight and included all of us on their nefarious agenda. The Westport Observatory is CLOSED this evening, Wednesday 4/29, due to overcast skies.
The stars are still out there, just playing hard to get! We'll see you at our next WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party in ONE WEEK! Clear skies and cosmic views are worth the wait. https://was-ct.org/
