ASTRO: Cherry Springs State Park

Cherry Springs State Park is Pennsylvania's only "astronomy park". Very
remote, with very dark sky. However, it does have AC power on the observing
field, water, and two domes and a roll-off available for rental (BYO
scopes). They plan on putting in flush toilets, a classroom, and a
planetarium this fall. The state runs astronomy programs on Saturday
evenings. This is the home of the CSSP each spring and the Black Forest Star
Party each fall. The total capacity is about 500 people on the observing
field. It costs $4 per night to camp/observe here and there is another small
fee for AC power use. There's a pay phone across the road - cell phones
don't work here.

The pic shows some apple trees in the forested section of the park.

I'll try and post a few more pic's from CSSP in a few days.
