Staunton River 2026 Fall Star Party!
October 5th – 11th

A Word from Our Fearless Leader

Registration for the Fall Star Party is OPEN

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone in October.

Star party entry fees are $110 for the full Week and $60 for the weekend. The Weekend is Thursday through Sunday. The fees are per astronomer, not per person. What this means that your immediate family members, (wife and young children, are free to join you at no extra fee.

T-Shirts will be available. They are short sleeve this party.

We are trying a new registration process through Zeffy. This is our first time using Zeffy, so hopefully it will make our process easier for registration.

The fees again are $110 for the full week and $60 for the weekend (Thursday-Sunday). Please add a message including your name as you would want it on your name tag and how many people will be coming with you and their names. This way we can give the park a head count. 

You may also send in your registration directly to;
CHAOS SRSP
P.O. Box 3001
Chapel Hill, NC 27514

If you experience any problems, let us know. We’ll work with you.

We also want to thank those that help to Sponsor our Star Party. Please check out our Sponsor page. We especially would like to thank the local Merchants for their support.

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.
