Hello everybody! ?
I've been updating the entire website, if I missed something, please let me know.?

  1. ?I've arranged?to pay for 60 AMPs of 110 AC available for most?of the party, starting Wednesday to Sunday, and I have solar panels and a generator as well.

  2. I've been granted permission to repurchase and use red plastic covers for?the LED lights in the rest rooms.? They are much easier to use and cover the lighting more completely.? I expect to have them before the June party.

  3. Lasers will not be permitted on the observing fields during observing, which is the standard at all other parties.

  4. If you have never been to a star party, please read the rules page on the?website
    I have the state park rules linked there, as well?as these two links about star party etiquette.


    Sky&Telescope's "What's Up at Star Parties?":

I was able to rent the pavilion for the September party Saturday, and I'm planning to have AV available for talks.? This is my plan for all parties in the future.? The June party Saturday was already reserved, and may still?be usable after 8pm, or earlier, depending?on when it is vacated.??

If anyone would like to give a talk, please keep this in?mind, and contact me by email with an outline of the talk, which is required by the park supervisor before the party.

NOTE: If anyone still?has my starpartyphil email address,?please stop using?it.? the address I use now is the one I used to send this email, so please make sure? philderosa1@... is the one?you have in your contacts.

Also, I would like to know, in case of emergency, if anyone attending is a first responder or qualified in first aid.? I have never had an incident at any party in the last 31 years, but I would like to be prepared.?

I am hoping to have more time available this year for this event, and I hope to do more personal observing as well

PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH YOUR CLUBS, FREINDS, and anyone else who is a hobbyist.

Thank you all for your support!??
