2025 Member LLCC Observing Weekend

MAS Star Party Member Weekend

Unlike other MAS star party sites, the nature of the relationship between the MAS and the LLCC requirements affects access by both members and the general public. Specifically:

• Other than the Northern Nights Star Fest, Events held at LLCC are not open to the public. Only MAS members and their immediate family members are authorized to attend scheduled events.
• Check the MAS Forum on the LLCC Discussion forum page for details on each observing weekend.  Reply to the forum for the weekend desired and indicate if you are coming and whether you require lodging.  A LLCC Committee member will notify the administration on room requirements.  
• A weekend may be cancelled if weather or field conditions are not suitable.  You may be the only one attending or there may be others – it is up to the individual members to use the weather resources available and decide if it is worth making the trip.  Check the MAS Forum to see if others are going or not going
• The site is not available for mid-week observing by members.

Check the MAS forum – ‘Long Lake Conservation Discussions’ topic and state that you intend to go to LLCC for the designated weekend.  The LLCC committee will notify LLCC management of member intentions and designate bunk rooms available for use (typically in the Marcum House).

LLCC star parties may be available for Friday and Saturday evenings, weather permitting.

Additional information on using the Long Lake Conservation Center, including map and directions, can be found on the LLCC page.
