There are showers and toilets down by the observing field. Click the words "keynote speakers" to see a list of all of this year's speakers. We are planning a rocket launch and other children's activities for the children again. If you are coming for the full four-day event, you can come in on Tuesday evening and get set up, then just go to the registration desk on Wednesday morning to check in.

Due to increased expenses of putting on Star Quest each year, we have regrettably found it necessary to increase our registration fees. Star Quest is still a great value when compared to the price of attending other major star parties. The registration fee includes camping and being able to attend all talks given for the four-day event.
