This year’s star party will be held once again at the Sunriver Nature Center and Observatory. In 2009 we were forced to hold this event at the observatory. It was intimate and successful in spite of very impromptu planning. Attendees were happy with the location, the viewing and the facility.
The Mount Bachelor Star Party, planning committee voted to do this even again at Sunriver Nature Center, with a full plate of speakers, swap meet, store, barbecue and other attractions. Space will be limited and observing sites will be designated and reserved on a first come/first serve basis.
