This year, we will be under the stars for our conference!

• The Astronomical League is pleased to announce that ASTROCON 2025 will be held during the new moon June 25-28 2025, at Ruby’s Inn, near the entrance to Bryce Canyon National Park. Along with talks and workshops given during the day, nightly dark-sky observing will be offered at Rainbow Point.


• Bryce Canyon National Park features some of the darkest skies in the United States. Naturally, the National Park Service will hold a nightly public star gaze across the street from the Bryce Canyon Visitor’s Center for both park visitors and ASTROCON attendees. Ruby’s Inn is family-oriented with many options for fun and adventures. The area is full of possibilities.


Ebenezer’s Barn and Grill will host the Star-B-Que Friday from Noon to 2:00 PM and the Gala Banquet Saturday night from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. A room and/or RV Park/ tent camping site reservation link will be provided via email after registration to the conference has been confirmed. Lodging is available at a reduced rate and will fill up fast.


Speakers and Workshops will utilize the lecture hall at Ruby’s Inn and Ebenezer’s Barn and Grill.


• Reserved rooms with the ASTROCON rates are available the nights of June 24th through the 28th.  This also includes the RV Park and Campground.  If you want to come earlier or stay later, you will be charged the normal room rate for those extra nights.
