Michigan's largest amateur star party.

The 2021 nineteenth annual GLSG Star Party is scheduled to be held Thursday, September 9th through Sunday, September 12th, 2021. The plan is to have as many of our usual activities as possible. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, plans may have to be changed as necessary. If we are able to be inside, talks will be hosted down in the campground in the club room. Otherwise, talks will be postponed until next year. We will keep you updated on any developments and when registration will open. We hope to see you all this September for a few nights under the stars. In the meantime, stay safe and keep looking up!

Early registration is open!

Location and dark skies are the main attraction of this star party. Gladwin, MI is a central location that provides excellent observing without traveling hours into Northern Michigan. Limiting magnitudes are estimated to be around 6.5 at zenith with some minor light domes from the cities of Mt. Pleasant and Midland, some 30 miles away. This is a star party for the astronomer who loves to observe and mingle with other astronomers. Some practical and interesting talks are scheduled to enhance your weekend experience.

The GLSG star party will be held at the River Valley RV Park in Gladwin, MI. Directions and more information about the star party can be found in the registration form.
