They told me a few weeks ago "Better get one soon!" So I did!

Call up and ask Lyman Run and see if you can get 'one more'.

 

However - the Galaxy Pass is limited in number on purpose - and a little controversial since it is unique in the PA park system. There have been those in PA state gov't and otherwise who have questioned it and want it eliminated entirely. More of them only means more work for the Park staff.

The page mentions that you have to pay a fee for the Galaxy Pass or to stay overnight, but nowhere do they say what the fees are.

Galaxy Passes were $65 for the yearly pass this year when they were available - they have now sold out.

Overnight Fee to use the Overnight Observing Field is $15 per night this year.
