Greetings Fellow Astronomers!

The Astronomy Connection (TAC) organizations of the San Francisco Bay
Area, the Sacramento Area, and Southern California are pleased to
announce The 2008 Golden State Star Party. This year's event will be
held July 2 through July 6; four nights at our new site near Adin, California.

Ever since our first Lassen Star Party in 1994, we have searched for the
perfect site with ink black skies and no intrusive light domes, 360
degree horizons, minimal dust problems, and an area large enough to
fully accommodate a large group of avid astronomers and their gear.

Our 2008 location is truly the place we've been looking for. GSSP is one
of the premier Star Parties in California featuring the darkest skies,
plenty of room and accommodations for camping and RVs, on-site food
services, showers, sanitary facilities, ice, and water.

Off-site accommodations and services are also available in the nearby
towns of Adin and Bieber. Astronomers will have the convenience of
leaving their equipment set up for the duration of the event. TAC has a
long history of excellent Star Parties, but this year's summer event
promises to be the best ever.

Registration opens January 1, 2008. For more information,

Clear Skies! Hope to see you at GSSP 2008!

Hi Gary,

Fire crews are working very hard to contain the fires in both regions. A great deal can change in a week (for better or worse) and we'll know more in a few days. Your advice is correct, but it's too soon to reach any conclusions about what the conditions will be a week from now.

Attendees of both events should check on the respective web sites for current status.
