Welcome to Dark Sky Observing at the Overgaard Star Party!

Overgaard Star Party, by invitation only....

Good friends will once again converge on the edge of the Colorado Plateau for awesome observing that see the value of The Research Center and The Observatory!

Housing: A tent, sleeping bag, and warm clothes are recommended if you've not attended in years past. Heber also has a motel, Best Western Sawmill Inn, for better accommodations.

Previous years outings: Meteor Crater and Lowell Observatory, Discovery Channel Telescope, Canyon de Chelly in 2012 on the centerline of the Annular Eclipse, and meteorite hunting at the Holbrook Meteorite Strewnfield.

Food: With more people attending I might ask for cash to get the food we'll be eating (I cook but I am also an attendee too). Each year though we've had Rib eye's on the grill for everyone one night. Breakfast can be simple like a bowl of cereal, or June's Cafe in town just a few miles away. The Red Onion bar also has good burgers for an early dinner. There is Bison Ranch nearby: cheesy-looking buildings but good food. The Italian Stallion Saloon closed up but was replaced by the Wild Women Saloon, obviously it will do well.
