Star Party Etiquette:
As with all star parties, please observe standard star party etiquette. Some tips: try to arrive and setup before dark; use no white light – use red filtered flashlights wherever possible – minimize white light from 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.

I came across this while looking up more details of the preserve guidelines as we have a big group camping that is separate from this event. But the timing couldn’t be better. We won’t have telescopes, but we’re really excited to see you all there and enjoy take in the beauty of the night sky and stars.
I will be there.
