Star Quest is an optical and radio astronomy event, held at the great dark sky site of the Green Bank Observatory. We have interesting and informational lectures and classes all four days of the event and Keynote Speakers each evening. Observing right from your campsite. There are showers and toilets down by the observing field and additional showers and toilets in the bunkhouse. Click the words "keynote speakers" to see a list of all of last year's speakers. We are planning a rocket launches for adults and children, with other fun activities also planned for the children.
