Hi Debby, Great to hear from you again! I know Kevin Poe at Bryce Canyon NP is great for star parties. Why don't you contact him? And if you don't want to head to Bryce, he probably could help you get in touch with the Zion people. -- Joe --- On Tue, 10/20/09, Debbie <astrodeb@beyondbb.com> wrote: From: Debbie <astrodeb@beyondbb.com> Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Star Party at Kolob Canyons section of Zion NP To: utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Date: Tuesday, October 20, 2009, 9:50 AM I had a great night viewing galaxies in Pegasus, Pisces, Perseus, Cetus, and Sculptor Saturday night at the viewpoint in Kolob Canyons. Skies were crystal clear and several Orionid meteors were observed. I'm wondering if it would be okay to hold a private star party in a National Park? I'm thinking about 20-25 people would be a good number. We like this site in the summer because the weather is much cooler at the 6000+ elevation.
