City of Rocks is located between Deming and Silver City.
Attendees will observe highlights of the February sky, with the winter sky setting in the west. Neptune, Mars and Venus will be seen in the west.
The event begins with a night sky tour, followed by views of deep sky objects through a high-powered telescope. John Gilkison will be the presenter.
The program is viewed in a dark sky setting beginning at 7:05 p.m., and attendees should arrive at the park at sunset, which is at about 5:55 p.m., so they can become familiar with their surroundings before nightfall.
The program will end at about 8:55 p.m.
