Hi, I run the Great Basin Astronomy Festival and lurk around this listserv! The park is usually very crowded during the festival. But we set aside areas for astronomy volunteers to camp that the public is not allowed to enter. We typically get 30+ volunteers, with maybe 10 - 20 scopes. I would love to have you all there! If you're interested, the schedule and volunteering info are now online: https://www.nps.gov/grba/planyourvisit/astronomy-festival.htm Thanks, Annie On Sat, Sep 9, 2017 at 9:09 AM, David Moulton <dave@themoultons.net> wrote:
Last year I would guess there were around a dozen telescopes. I arrived on the second day, and there was still room for me. I had probably 60 or 70 look through my scope that night. There were fewer the next night due to clouds as I recall.
I have planned all year to attend again, but I've had a family obligation spring up that will keep me away this year.
I think it's a fun festival, very worth attending.

How popular is the Great Basin Astronomy festival? When do you have to get there to secure a campsite?
