The Rose City Astronomers have been granted permission to use private property approximately 8 miles West of the town of Maupin for a members-only Star Party on the nights of June 15 & 16.  

As this is a new experience for the property owners, we need to be especially careful of the property and gracious to our hosts - so hopefully we will be invited back.  We expect that several curious neighbors and people from the community may join us on one or both evenings.

RVs, trailers and tents will be allowed on the observing site (see observing site map for instructions).  The town of Maupin offers lodging, restaurants and recreation if you don't want to rough it. We will have a portable outhouse on site.

Please review the Observing Site Instructions before arriving.

OK to arrive anytime after 1 p.m. on Friday.  Need to be off the property by Noon on Sunday.

NOTE: The site is located at one end of an active airstrip.  There is a high probability that the property owner will be flying out and back early on both Saturday and Sunday morning. We will not be in his way, but consider yourself warned about the noise this will make.
