Cherry Springs Star Party in PA, starting May 17th.

There's not much info "out there" on this one. Does anyone know if it's
happening? Anyone going?

My friend Art and I currently plan on being there with my Obsession 20, plus
PST, and DSLR on a EQ-1 for some wide-field imaging. This is our first trip
to the park and if it works out I'll bring my RC10/MI-250 for some imaging
on a future expedition.
