Stub Stewart Star Parties
/
L.L. Stub Stewart State Park is located near Vernonia, Oregon. This is a star party for RCA members and their guests and is not one of the OMSI public star parties.
There is no registration for RCA members for club star parties at this location. Just show up and enjoy the evening! You don't even need a telescope to participate. Other members are enthusiastic to share their views. We observe from dusk to dawn.
It can always be very cold at night no matter what the season, so bring warm clothing.
Stub Stewart is also available for personal or impromptu observing most times by RCA members.
More up to date information about these star parties can be found on the RCA forum.

Note that everyone arriving before dark backed into their parking space.
Arrive while it is still light so you can set up and be prepared.
Be aware that this is not a private observing opportunity. You will share views through your telescope with a lot of people and will answer a lot of questions.
Take the opportunity to educate people about good light policies, but be ready for a lot of white light.
