Is anyone going to the Iowa Star Party at the Whiterock Conservancy?  I haven't seen anyone here talking about it.

I'd love to go one year. Any reports would be interesting.

I have some friends who will probably go, but unfortunately they don't post on Cloudy Nights.

My original post was last year and I did go.  It’s a small affair but a lot of fun.  I did my first imaging from a dark site at that event.  I’ve since moved to Virginia but if I was still in Iowa I’d definitely go again.

If the long range weather forcast holds, it's looking good for the star party.

I'll be there! It's not a big star party, but the skies can be decent and Whiterock is a beautiful place to visit.
