I went last year and am going to attend this year. This was my first star party. I too am not 'astronomically gifted' and felt a little out of place with my XT10 as there are some serious scopes in the field. That being said I am going again and look forward to it. I recommend camping on the grounds vs. finding a hotel. There is food service there that was acceptable and toilets. People are friendly and always willing to help and answers questions. Bring a red flashlight or there is a good chance you will be shot carrying a white light. The daytime activities were alittle lacking so this year I am going to bring my golf clubs and escape for a quick round late morning. The sky is amazing!! Dorothy, we're not on Long Island anymore. You will have a good time and enjoy the experience.
