West Texas Astronomers Midland, Texas

The Star Party Indicator is our way of letting everybody know whether the upcoming Star Party or Dark Site Viewing Session is a go or no-go. It will be updated with a final verdict approximately 2 hours before the proposed meeting time. Don't forget to refresh your browser if it doesn't automatically do it for you.

Prior to the final verdict, a prediction will be posted based on the weather outlook. This will hopefully help people plan ahead of time.

To avoid confusion, please make note of the different symbols used:

  Star Party will be held - Final Verdict.

  Star Party Cancelled - Final Verdict.

  We predict that the Star Party should be held - check back later.

  We predict that the Star Party will be clouded out - check back later.

  It's too early to tell anything yet.
