The 2005 Mason Dixon Star Party
The York County Astronomical Society will be presenting
the 16th annual Mason Dixon Star Party at Shreveport
Airport / Florida Keys Restaurant, near Dillsburg, PA
from Wednesday, July 6, through Sunday, July 10, 2005.
This
large gathering of amateur astronomers will have speakers,
vendors, swap tables, door and raffle prizes, photography
contest, telescope contest and a 24-hour food caterer,
The famous May's Munchables, of Hanover, PA.
The airport horizon is extremely flat, stars are visible
at less than 10 degrees above the horizon, and light
pollution seems to be at a minimum. The camping area
is alongside the 2600-foot runway, which will be closed
for
the event, and can handle campers of any size. We will
have flush toilets, access to showers, as well as a
swimming pool (additional fees), volley ball and horseshoes.
