The Crystal Coast Stargazers astronomy club meets multiple times per month. Our members and guests can attend all events or pick and choose which ones interest them or fit into their schedules.
We meet monthly on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:00PM at the Carteret Community College Bryant Student Meeting Center. We also gather for monthly public viewing events at Fort Macon State Park Bathhouse. We have a NASA Solar System Ambassador Program and viewing events on a seasonal basis at the Cape Lookout Visitors Center on Harkers Island.
We also have spur of the moment events if there is something of interest (comets, meteor showers, eclipses, etc.).
The best way to stay current is to join our Facebook group and follow our events section to keep up to date.
You can also become a member and join our mailing list for monthly updates and schedules.
