An der Star Party treffen sich Amateurastronom:innen und Astronomie-Interessierte im Dark Sky Park Gantrisch, um den gemeinsam den Sternenhimmel zu beobachten. Dabei steht auch der Austausch untereinander und mit Interessierten im Fokus.
Die Star Party hat auf dem Gurnigel seit mehr als 30 Jahren Tradition. Sie hat weder ein Organisationsteam noch ein Programm, sondern ist ein lockeres Treffen von Amateur-Astronom:innen, Deep-Sky- und Nachtlandschaftsfotograf:innen und weiteren Interessierten.
Die meisten Sterngucker:innen treffen am Nachmittag ein, verweilen in der schönen Landschaft und suchen sich die besten Standorte für ihre Gerätschaften auf der Panzerplattform. Sie treffen sich gegen Abend im Restaurant zum Nachtessen und bauen danach ihre Geräte auf zum Beobachten des Sternenhimmels. Laien und Interessiert ohne Teleskope sind ausdrücklich willkommen.
Die Star Party findet an den Abenden des 14. und 15. August statt und dauert solange die Sterngucker:innen des Nachthimmels nicht müde werden – oft bis in die Morgendämmerung. Auch bei schlechtem Wetter sind einige Hartgesottene anzutreffen. Nicht selten klart der Himmel im Verlauf der Nacht noch auf und zeigt sich von seiner beeindruckendsten Seite.
Bei schönem Wetter ist am Samstagabend der Naturpark Gantrisch mit seinem Infomobil vor Ort (Panzerplattform Stierenhütte). Die Exkursionsleiter sind mit vielen Informationen zur Nachtlandschaft vor Ort. Für die kleinen Astronomie-Experten wird auch eine Familienexkursion angeboten. Die 1,5-stündige Führung rückt die Nachtschwärmer in den Fokus.
