Join the Halls Valley Astronomical Group for a night of star-gazing happening monthly at Grant Park in the hills east of San Jose.
Knowledgeable volunteers provide a chance to look through a variety of telescopes and answer questions about the night sky.
Joseph D. Grant County Park is located in a rural area and is separated from the city lights by a 2,400 foot (700 meter) high ridge of the Diablo Mountains. Lick Observatory, on the summit of Mount Hamilton, home of the second largest refracting telescope in the world, is located 11 miles beyond the park entrance.
Public star-gazing nights take place at one of two observing sites, Telescope Row and the Halley Hill Observatory (across from campsite #22). Please note that park gates close early, so arrive on time.
