Re: Ohio Star Party/Outreach
I am going to plug it into my calendar. You have my number text me the address of the site.RitcheyPark wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2024 4:22 pm For anyone interested, we are organizing a small gathering on Saturday October 5th to see the new site and for some observing that evening if the sky is clear. Best way to contact me is to text at 740 541 4746 and we can go from there. This is a 40 acre site named after George Willis Ritchey who grew up nearby. The site is being willed to the John Glenn Astronomy Park when I'm gone. Our goal is to aquire a Planewave R-C scope at a later date in honor of George Ritchey. The site is located on a hilltop over looking the Ohio river at Long Bottom. Bortle 4 or better depending on the sky conditions.

Have fun!Mike Q wrote: ↑Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:44 pm I will be heading out shortly bound for Long Bottom Ohio and the 1st and hopefully annually held star party at Ritchey Park. The weather says we will have clear Bortle 3 skies. I will post pictures as I can but it may be a day or two since i will be in the land of very little signal.

Re: Ohio Star Party/Outreach
This was more of an family outreach deal then a star party. He is already talking about trying to do another one before the weather gets to bad. Yours truly has already been invited and reminded to bring eyepieces lol
