The Star Party has begun, and we are excited to see everyone!

As you arrive and depart please remember to slow down a bit as you pass through the gravel section in front of Jack's Resort, the dry conditions create a lot of dust!

WSSP would like to extend a big "Thank You!" to our sponsors and vendors! We are excited announce that PiFinder has donated one of their PiFinders for our Door Prizes this year!

What is a PiFinder you may ask? Well:

"PiFinder’s plate-solving technology means there’s no need for encoders or complex star alignment. Just power it up, select an object, and get immediate push-to guidance — from dark sites or light-polluted city balconies.

Mounts like a finder, works like sophisticated DSCs, and includes powerful observing tools. Get more out of your observing time, with PiFinder!" https://www.instagram.com/pifinder.io https://www.pifinder.io/

Also, speaking of Pi, or Pie, did you know that Jack's Resort has amazing home made pies? Just a few minutes away awaits a tasty summer treat! Stop by and say hello!
