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.

Looks like decent skies in the evening there. I’m going.
I will be there with my 12 inch light bridge. Let’s look at some deep sky!
See you there.
Looking forward to going to my first ever star party and taking my 130mm reflector I have some really. Ice eyepieces I can’t wait to try out !!
Welcome Luis! You will have a great time sharing the views with us under the desert sky.
Weather is looking good for that night! Let’s go.
i will be attending the Saturday March 1st Star Party at Pioneertown, looking forward to clear skies and great star gazing.
: )
I will need to pass on the starparty event on Saturday March 1st as i will be visiting a seriously ill friend.
I’m thinking of going if the weather forecast holds. Planets could be good. Let’s see what the clouds do.
