Twice a year the astronomical community gets together for a Star Party. This is where we spend a few days camping in a dark spot in the Karoo with our telescopes, enjoy talks and events as well as, most importantly, nights looking at the sky. Some are new to the subject and others old-hands. You can find out more at https://southernstarparty.org/ To tell us about it is Dr Sally MacFarlane who gave a talk at the recent star party.
