Rose City Astronomers

OMSI's Camp Hancock Field Station (Use of which is only through special arrangements between the RCA and OMSI) Camp Hancock Star Camp Weekend Info
One observing site on a hill above camp looking east at sunrise. Room for about sixteen or so scopes. an AC power outlet is available. Horizons: North and east reasonable, south-south-east not great but even low Messiers are still visible, hill continues up to the south-west and the horizon is pretty high there.
A view of camp from the above observing site. The dining hall and most of the cabins are nestled in the trees on the left. If low horizons are not much of a concern, there is lots of room in camp and the parking lot for scopes.
	The cultural center of camp is, of course, the dining hall. This photo shows the interior of the dining hall (I believe there are 11 tables seating 10 each).

	The stairs leading up to the library is seen in the far right. This photo shows the dining hall, the camp fire pit with surrounding seating (great for evening presentations and marshmallows), and volleyball net.
Not shown are: Lon's Lab (a large hall with benches capable of seating about 70 with shuttered windows where presentations, films, and slides shows can be held during the day), the cabins (with 12 bunks each), the bathrooms (with sinks and showers), the (primitive) dark room, and the lapidary.
