Greetings CHAOS and Guests,
It is time for the October Staunton River Star Party. The year has gone by way too fast. It seems that we just had our very successful spring event and now here we are for our Fall event.
This star party seems to be a phoenix rising. We have a new park manager Auston, he has been at our 2018 events and is coming back to run the park. I am very excited to have him with us. We will have a vendor at the star party this year, Southeastern Camera. They will be filling everyone’s astronomical needs. I am very happy that Tony and Liz Mansfield are bringing their wares. Liz is CEO of Vernonscope.
We have a full list of speakers this year. So many that our talks will begin on Wednesday and go until Saturday. We’ll have two a day.
Agena Astro is another sponsor of our star party. The first in several years. They have donated two, 2X Barlows for door prizes. We have many businesses in South Boston and Halifax running specials during the star party. I am so excited.
So check out the Speaker and Sponsor pages on the Star Party webpage. I believe we will be the star party to model.
Clear skies,
Jayme Hanzak
President of CHAOS
