Rockhound State Park is located east of Deming in Luna County.
Attendees will view highlights of the spring sky, such as Venus in the west... Mars on the meridian at program start... and Saturn high in the east by program start.
The event begins with a night sky tour... followed by views of deep sky objects though a high-powered telescope. Sally Allen will be the presenter.
The program is viewed in a dark sky setting beginning at 9:05 p-m... and attendees should arrive at the park at sunset, which is at about 7:55 p-m, so they can become familiar with their surroundings before nightfall.
The program will end at about 10:35.
