Come join us at the 7th Annual Shingletown Star party from June 30 -
July 7 2008!
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. Imagers - we provide power for your equipment. We also
boast a dinner delivery service to your telescope, and a cafe where
you can get a sno-cone to help you cool off in the daytime, as well
as freshly brewed coffee at 2 am. Over the past few years we have
hosted 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.
