Website Update:

You might have noticed the Table Mountain Star Party website has been re-designed. If you had bookmarked sections of the website, you will need to update those bookmarks as those pages may have moved or been renamed. Take a few minutes and explore the new site layout. We hope that you find the new layout visually appealing and easy to navigate.
