Star Party at Great Basin National Park
Howdy all, I just wanted to announce the next Star Party at Great Basin National Park. It will be Saturday, April 23 in celebration of Jr. Ranger Day. We will start in the afternoon with solar observing, followed by an evening of observing under the clear dark skies of the park. Moonrise is not until about 1:00AM. As always, we ask the support of the astronomer's in the region. Thank you for all you do. Hope to see you here!

If the government shuts-down because Congress can't pass a budget, will the park close temporarily? Contingency plan?
Kelly, I'm off work during that time. If the weather is good ; ) I'll be there. Jay On Thu, Mar 31, 2011 at 10:29 AM, <Kelly_Carroll@nps.gov> wrote:

Hi Kelly, I just checked and saw SLAS has got a star party that evening. In future it might be helpful if you scheduled your star parties on nights when SLAS does not have one. That would increase the pool of possible attendees. Clear skies (which we have in spades tonight!), patrick p.s. Here are a couple of links to this year's schedule: http://slas.us/docs/SLAS%202011%20Star%20Party%20Schedule.pdf http://slas.us/calendar.asp?list=Yes&Year=2011&StarParty=1 On 31 Mar 2011, at 10:29, Kelly_Carroll@nps.gov wrote:
