Georgia Sky View - Conditions?

Has anyone observed from this site and from, say, Winter Star Party or Chiefland?
I'd appreciate a comparison of the sky conditions.

Thanks!

Hello Mike
Don't know if I am the best person to reply, because I've never been to the WSP or Chiefland. But I've attended the GSV and the PSSG at this same location over the past 10 years I have always enjoyed myself.
I have always been able to observe all DSO's so I guess it's pretty good.
The only draw back is the Air traffic heading into Atlanta to land, but slows down after 11pm.

Indian Spring State Park has a really nice meeting hall for talks and also as a nice shower room, and Sleeping bunks for both Men & Women
We always have a great time and the folks that host this event are the best!!! I highly recommend it.
Hope you can make it.

Clear Skies, Arthur

I've been to Chiefland and GSV; the GSV site is not as dark nor does it have the horizons of Chiefland. However, it is a very laid back party with nice, friendly people. There are 2-3 light domes similar to the one from the town of Chiefland. I don't know how quantitatively the two sites compare.

Mike,

I cut my "star party teeth" on this observing location back when the PSSG was held here. Attended for 4-5 years. I have not been to the other sites you mentioned, but Indian Springs is a moderately dark site. I was always happy with the views of DSO's but the skies at the new PSSG location are definitely darker. However, the trip may be worth it just for a plate of BBQ and a cup of the Brunswick stew at the nearby Fresh Air BBQ eating establishment!!!! Bunkhouses have heat and the field is pretty large and level.
