SJAA Yosemite Public Party 2012

The annual SJAA Yosemite star party will be held on August 10 and 11, at Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park. Up to 30 people will be given free admission and camping, in exchange for two public events on Friday and Saturday evenings. In what time is left, we can be tourists.

We are expected to have at least one scope per two people, and to attend both star parties, not just Friday or Saturday. For these reasons, this is probably not suitable for a family camping trip.

The camping is rough by modern standards: no dining room, no showers, no hot water. Read about it on the SJAA Yosemite page http://www.sjaa.net/yosemite.shtml and the FAQ page at http://www.sjaa.net/yosefaq.shtml. Then contact me with remaining questions. That first page also has sun and moon rise and set times.

If you can tolerate the limitations, tell me the number of people you’ll have, and the number of scopes that will be set up for the public. E-mail me at jvn@sjpc.org , or phone 408-371-1307 11 a.m. to11 p.m. Priority is given to SJAA members.
