SUMMARY:Green Bank Star Quest XXI: Star Party and Conference
DESCRIPTION:Green Bank Star Quest is the largest star party in the nation that combines both optical and radio astronomy. Held at the Green Bank Observatory, located in Green Bank, West Virginia, the rural location provides the dark skies so envied by many other astronomers.\nGreen Bank Observatory graciously allows us to host this star party at their facility, where the infrastructure enables events and lectures to continue even in inclement weather. Large campsites are available in the observing field, with hot showers nearby.\nBunkhouses are also available for a small fee of $15 per night to help accommodate astronomers. Anyone paying for the full four-day event may choose to arrive on Tuesday. The camping field and bunkhouse will be available, but the bunkhouse is $15 per night, including Tuesday night, if you arrive early.\nAnyone registering before February 28, 2026, will qualify for our Early Bird Discount off the registration fee. Bunkhouse fees cannot be discounted.\nEach year, we strive to have the highest-quality speakers available, covering a wide variety of topics that interest both optical and radio astronomers. Additional information is available at http://www.greenbankstarquest.org/.\nThere will be a 10% group discount for groups of ten or more (pre-paid and non-refundable, unless the event is cancelled again due to circumstances beyond our control).  The discount applies only to the registration fee and does not include bunkhouse, RV sites, or any other special fees.\nOnly service dogs currently in service are allowed at the Observatory. No other animals, including emotional support dogs, will be allowed at or near the visitor center or anywhere else on the Green Bank campus. Service dogs must remain with their human at all times due to liability issues.\nAnyone who is interested in attending can find a registration form on our website: http://www.greenbankstarquest.org/.\nContact:\nCentral Appalachian Astronomy Club, PO Box 211, Grafton, WV  26354, or via our club’s website: http://www.caacwv.com/contact.htm,  or you can contact the coordinator of the event, our club’s vice president, John Taylor, at (304) 265-5514.\n
