Get all your tickets well in advance - sells out! Do the 2pm telescope tour Go back to Ft Davis, hotel, dinner Return for 8pm Twilight program (theater) Follow on with the Star Party!!! See stars, galaxies, moon up close - awesome! Do bring a light jacket even in summer (6,700 ft altitude, breezy, Cool) Go back to Fort Davis and crash

If you really want to see the stars, go on a New Moon. We had half a moon, which was cool too, seeing it through telescopes.
