Shingletown Star Party (7/9-16/07) Registration Opens

ome join us at the 2007 Shingletown Star party from July 9 -16, 2007!
Located
on an unused airstrip at an altitude of 4,000 feet in Northern
California, this
site is in the gray on the light pollution map, and usually has skies
to at
least mag 7. There is room for more than 300 telescopes along the
airstrip (and
the area could be
expanded if needed). Horizons are excellent all around, and the site
boasts a superb daytime view of Mt. Lassen. You can camp out in a
tent, bring your RV, or rent a nearby cabin. You can leave your
equipment set up for the entire week. Shower facilities are available
(and
included in the registration fee), and there are many daytime
activities to
enjoy in the area. Over the past few years we have had a
number of observers from foreign countries as well as amateurs from
all over the US. If you register early - the fee is only $40.

We expect a number of vendors to attend SSP - check the vendor list
after April
10.

For all the details, and to register, check our our web site:

SSP is also pleased to announce that GSSP attendees are welcome to
visit SSP
during the daytime hours and can walk through the gate on presentation
of their
GSSP badge.

Clear skies,

Shneor Sherman
