Rockhound State Park is located east of Deming in Luna County.
Attendees will view highlights of the winter sky, such as Mars in the west, Orion high in the east and Canopus rising by program start.
The event begins with a night sky tour... followed by views of deep sky objects though a high-powered telescope. Mike Nuss will be the presenter.
The program is viewed in a dark sky setting beginning at 7:10 p.m... and attendees should arrive at the park at sunset, which is at about 6:02 p.m. so they can become familiar with their surroundings before nightfall.
The program will end at about 8:40 p.m.
