We’re looking forward to another great October Star Party.

Even though the spring event started out with some rough weather on Monday night, the rest of the week was wonderful. Tuesday skies seemed amazingly clear and the dew was not an issue. Friday was public night and some reason, the clouds thought they could come along. We had a full field on Sunday morning. And everyone’s tents were dry. A great way to end the week.

Heres to looking to October.

I have once again placed my order for clear skies in October.

If you have a talk that you would like to present, let us know and we will make it happen.

Again, we are looking forward to seeing everyone in October.
