The only bad things about mid-summer SPs is that the nights are the shortest, and it's too hot to sleep during the day. .... Jeff






Jeff, et al:

Well if everyone has their star party on the same few summer/fall weekends that means that a person can only attend one or two per year. I would like to do 3 or 4. Also, it limits the star parties to the same section of the sky. Since my favorite part of the sky is Coma/Virgo, I really like the CSSP! I’ve never been to the WSP, but I would sure like to do it some time. Observing in February in shirt sleeves or a jacket must be nice!
