The Eugene Astronomical Society's next star party is tonight at the College Hill Reservoir at 24th and Lawrence in Eugene. This is the latest in their series of "First Quarter Fridays" held each month on the Friday nearest the first quarter moon. The last four have been great successes, drawing dozens of people to share the view of the night sky.

The EAS will have a variety of telescopes for people to look through, and astronomers on hand to explain what people are seeing. The public is welcome to attend, and admission is free.
