# [West Seattle Stargazing Tonight – Solstice Park 12/7/2009](https://grav.alicesastroinfo.com/blog/west-seattle-stargazing-tonight-solstice-park-1272009)

   7th Dec 2009   [Event](https://grav.alicesastroinfo.com/tag:Event#body-wrapper) [West Seattle](https://grav.alicesastroinfo.com/tag:West%20Seattle#body-wrapper)  

- When: Tonight 5pm+
- Where: [Solstice Park](https://grav.alicesastroinfo.com/blog/2009/06/solstice-park-west-seattle)
- Who: Everyone welcome – like the [last event](http://westseattleblog.com/blog/?p=20924)

I have officially given up on “planned” stargazing in Seattle. I’ve been foiled by the weather too many times. I tip my hats to those of you who persevere. Hereafter you can expect all stargazing events from me to be last-minute, as with this one!

If the weather holds, tonight you will find me and my scopes at Solstice Park in West Seattle just as it begins to get dark starting between 4:30pm and 5pm. I’ll go until it clouds over or my fingers get too cold (and I can be quite a pansy). I may also be late – depending on the commute.

Everyone is welcome – bring your binocs, scopes, or just yourself and we’ll see things Galileo hadn’t even thought of. I’m also brining a thermos of hot tea, but if you have a mug of chocolate instead please set it aside before using my telescopes. :)

Oh – and check out this week’s [Carnival of Space – #132](http://steves-astrocorner.blogspot.com/2009/12/welcome-to-carnival-of-space.html)!
