Salmonberry Star Party Location
Due to the growth of the trees in recent years, the horizon is occluded

There are no scheduled RCA star parties planned for this location at this time.

This location has often been used for impromptu star parties on the west side.

This open site is pretty good sized and is at 2250 feet of elevation. It has very good horizons, some blockage (15-20 degrees) to south and southwest. The southwest blockage is silhouetted by the Portland metro sky glow, reminding you that you aren't missing much.

There are no facilities at this location. The nearest gas station is in Banks.

There is no formal registration for the event itself, just show up and enjoy the evening. You don't even need a telescope to participate; other members are enthusiastic to share their views. This is a good opportunity for beginners to get acquainted.

Come and observe your favorite objects and spend a wonderful evening with friends, and friends you haven't met yet.

If you are new to observing here is some information on Star Party Etiquette, Star Party Supplies and Star Party Tips.

If you have any further questions email the Star Party Chairman.
