Dear astronomy enthusiast:

The Chicago Astronomical Society invites you to attend our annual star party, Astrofest, which will be held September 10-11, 2010 at Vana’s near Kankakee, Illinois. Registration forms and related information are available at

The theme for this year’s event is “The Link Between Astronomy and Particle Physics.” In addition to our usual line-up of astronomers, Astrofest 2010 will include presentations by scientists involved in research into such contemporary topics as dark matter and dark energy. Our star party will be held on Vana’s 20+ acre field, with plenty of room for camping and telescopes; each attendee will be invited to use our 14-inch observatory telescope. Other activities include: astrophotography contest; telescope contest; door prize raffle.

We hope to see you at Astrofest 2010.
