Hello All,

I've already spoken with several people that will be attending the 2019
Maine State Star Party at the Cobscook State Park this coming Friday through
Sunday (see attached). The weather is looking good and I encourage you to
consider joining us for the weekend. Cobscook is the second darkest site
(after Katahdin) that I've measured in Maine: 21.58 Mag/arcsec^2 and you
couldn't ask for a more pleasant location right next to Cobscook Bay. Signup
is not necessary and camping is free if you stay at the group site. Just
tell the gate person that you are here with the astronomy group. Along with
amateur astronomers from clubs across Maine, we have a built in audience of
60 to 100 State Park campers that have joined us in the past. Not as crazy
as the ANSF Cadillac Star Party and a lot more fun. I'll definitely be
there.
