Notes:
For those of you visiting Pioneertown Preserve for the first time, please remember to dress warmly, as the desert nights can be quite cool. Be sure to bring plenty of drinks and snacks for yourself.
Star Party Etiquette:
As with all star parties, please observe standard star party etiquette. Some tips: try to arrive and set up before dark; use no white light – use red filtered flashlights wherever possible – minimize white light from the auto door and dome lights; if you arrive late or plan to leave early, take care to approach and park so your headlights or backup lights do not shine on other participants; if you leave early or must use white light, first give a warning so observers or astrophotographers can compensate; please ask before handling other participant’s telescope equipment. Most importantly, be prepared to relax and enjoy good company under the night sky.

Looking forward to attending Pioneertown Star Party – hopefully the weather is clear and no rain on Saturday.
Possible poor viewing conditions Saturday due to inclement weather.

Yeah, It might not be worth going out there this weekend. Eventually we’ll have clear skies for star parties.
Given continuing inclement weather, Friday 4/5 i am not optimistic that Saturdays April 6 viewing conditions will be favorable, therefore i am unfortunately cancelling my participation to Saturday’s event.
