I don't think you'll be disappointed -- it is a great group of people
and each year more people, programs, vendors, and speakers are in place
to make it even better. One of the best parts from my perspective is
seeing all the different kinds of scopes and talking to people about
what they like and don't like about their scope.

If you haven't already registered - I would encourage you to do so
quickly -- also there is a raffle for a complete set of Takahashi
oculars (set of 9) that is open to anyone -- even if you are not
attending the party.

regularly attend new moon weekends in Chiefland, FL where there are very
dark skies and lots of big dob's that are generally available to all who
want to enjoy the view. John Novak has two observatories that include a
24" RC, 32" Newtonian, and 36" Dobsonian -- all custom built by him. In
addition to that there are usually 30-50 astronomers on the field each
new moon weekend to observe and share. The big Fall Star Party is
developing into a tremendous event with several hundred observers on the
20+ acre site. Mark November 9-15, 2009 on your calendar and go to
fallstarparty.com to find out more about Chiefland and the Fall Star
Party.
