Come 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 for the entire week.

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,
