The Texas Star Party (TSP) is one of the largest annual star parties in the United States. April 15 -April 22, 2012
TSP was started by Deborah Byrd, members of the Austin Astronomical Society, and McDonald Observatory in August 1979. It was a weekend gathering of amateur astronomers at Davis Mountains State Park near McDonald Observatory in far west Texas. In 1982, TSP was reorganized as a week long event and was held at the Prude Guest Ranch near Fort Davis, Texas. For one year only, in 1997, the event was held at Alto Frio Baptist Encampment, on the banks of the Frio River, 40 miles north of Uvalde, Texas. In 1998, TSP returned to Prude Ranch, where it continues to be held annually in late April or in May near the time of new moon.

"Make no mistake about it -- the skies are
wonderful. Hot, dry, days make for clear, steady skies, and ESSP
participants cheerfully brag of spotting 7th-magnitude stars from the
campsite at Pound Ranch. After dinner, when the clouds had cleared and
the Moon had set, the Milky Way glowed overhead like a giant storm
cloud."
