Illinois Dark Skies Star Party
Hosted by the Sangamon Astronomical Society
Oct. 8, 9, 10, 2026
Jim Edgar Panther Creek State Fish & Wildlife Area
We hope you can join us this year for the Illinois Dark Skies Star Party.
Again, the event will be held at the Jim Edgar Panther Creek State Fish and Wildlife Area, 25 miles Northwest of Springfield, Illinois.
Details are being finalized.
The group campgrounds at Jim Edgar Panther Creek State Fish & Wildlife Area are the host location. There is plenty of room, so we encourage club attendance. Covered pavilions on site means comfortable seating for meals and talks.
There is also an adjacent family campground should you wish to stay there and walk or drive over to the start party site.
To familiarize yourself with the site, check out the maps at our club website: https://sas-sky.org/maps/
