Greetings MERAL Presidents, ALCors, officers, editors, and others,

 

Jim Browder of the Richmond Astronomical Society has asked me to share the information below about the Staunton River Star Party. This is the first regional event in the MERAL region for 2025 and it sounds like a wonderful gathering of amateur astronomers.

 

Clear skies,

From Jim Brower:

Registration is now open for the Staunton River Star Party!

Staunton River State Park has dark skies, a beautiful setting, along with an extremely helpful and welcoming park staff. Electrical power is available in the observing field and food service (really good food service) is available onsite at the park.

Astronomers are welcome to camp on the observing field with their telescope equipment. If you don't like camping, the park is only about 20 minutes from South Boston where you can find hotel lodging.

Registration and more information available at this link: https://chaosastro.org/starparty-home/

The cloud cover for the Lunar eclipse Thursday into Friday, continues to look bad. Does anyone have suggestions for locations in western Maryland to observe? It looks like conditions may be better there.
Thanks
Allen
