HISTORY OF THE YCSP STAR PARTY


 

开云体育

HEELO ALL---- HISTORY OF THE YCSP STAR PARTY … the star party MDSP, or Mason Dixon Star Party was started around 1989/1990 by the local York club at Spring County Valley Park, with the equestrian rings, near Glen Rock, PA, and until 6 years ago I had chaired it about half the years of its existence.? At that point, many of the club officers decided they wanted to stop supporting the star party, even though members were fine with having it.? Politics.? I went to my first in 1995 and don’t think I missed any since then.? I have been bounced around by land owners for the last couple of years, trying to find darker skies and a cooperating land owner, and I am thrilled to be able to offer the DARKEST site that could support a party in this area.

Please stay tuned for developments, things are being worked on in the background now.

Busy Bee food vendor confirmed for the September party, but is unavailable for the Memorial Day event.

Hope to see you there!

Was it Mason Dixon SP? MDSP was the original name and it was never in Maryland. Original location was Shreveport North Airport near Kralltown Rd Wellsville in?York County. That spot ended when the owner of the airstrip passed about 5 years ago. This new spot was located in 2019 and seems to be excellent. Bortle Class 4 or better. Next best after Cherry Springs State Park

Welcome to the group, you will like it.?

Thanks for the info Prasad...I seem to remember a SP in the Maryland area from years back. I glanced over the membership of the YCSP group and recognized a few names that I knew that lived in that area or had attended that SP...Maybe it's the same one...

I just ran across this SP on line and assume it's just starting up. A very good example of a really nice SP is Staunton River SP near South Boston, Va. in the Staunton River State Park. The big attraction there is 110AC on the field, plus it's 2 SPs a year for 6 days each and the dates there don't interfere with YCSP dates. Maybe worth looking in to for guide lines.


YCSP is not a newly started SP. It has been around for many years now, though this location -Susquehannock State Park is just one year old to YCSP. It was previously known by name MDSP and the name was changed to YCSP about five years ago.??
