Register to stargaze inside the Taghkanic State Park after dark

The MHAA pays for a Stargazing Permit at the Taghkanic State Park each year so we can host events after hours. The permit also allows our official paid members to stargaze in the park on their own any night they'd like for free.

Simply submit the form below to notify the TSP office of your intended visit (try to give them 12+ hours notice). A PDF with your personalized permit will be emailed to you, which you should print out and have handy.

If the gate booths are manned when you arrive, you should be able to show them the permit to enter for free. Gate booths are generally manned Memorial Day through Labor Day and close at 5PM on weekdays, or 6PM on weekends and holidays.

Note: This form is only used for individual member visits. Guest information and RSVPs for Star Parties and other official MHAA hosted events at the park will continue to be collected and managed through Meetup events.

This feature is only available to paid MHAA members.
