  Star Parties April 2010
   
 

April is a busy month for the astronomy community. There a bunch of star parties on our list for April. There is also a big astronomy show in Suffern NY. NEAF has been a fixture in the area for years. It is especially popular because it is in the backyard of TeleVu eyepiece manufacturing and they have a big blowout sale at this show every year.

So break out your telescope, binoculars, and star charts in April and head out to one of these star parties.
