Australia's premier star party, the South Pacific Star Party, is turning 18 this year and they'd love you to come and celebrate the occassion with them.

Hosted by the ASNSW, the SPSP has been a staple on the Australian star party calendar for 18 years now, and regularly has an attendance of 200-300+ amateur astronomers and star gazers.

This years event is being held from the 14-16th May 2010, and as usual, there are talks, the Astro-Imaging Competition, the Telescope, Accessories and Software competition, workshops, vendor displays, the swap meet, nightly sky tours and much more.

Registrations are now open, so head on over to the SPSP page and help them celebrate their 18th birthday. For discussions or questions, please try this thread on IceInSpace.
