Nightfall

October 30-November 2, 2008
Palm Canyon Resort
Borrego Springs, California

In addition to the Memorial Day weekend event, RTMC also produces an early autumn star party called Nightfall.

Nightfall is unique because it takes place at a desert resort that cooperates in creating a dark, red-light only environment throughout its sprawling property.

This is a great opportunity to bring family and friends to a star party with amenities such as pools, high-speed Internet access, and air conditioned rooms, as well as dark, steady skies. In the daytime, the nearby Anza Borrego Park is a terrific place for hiking or off-roading.

How to Attend
Nightfall is hosted by the Palm Canyon Resort. You can make reservations to stay there by going online -- www.pcresort.com -- or calling (800) 242-0044. Be sure to mention that you are with the “astronomy event.”
