Re: [VPAS] Received my Mars Pocket Atlas today

Mars addendum
They have a sense of humor in the book. On the inside it has a Mars green road sign with the white border. You know, what you see coming into a town or a freeway exit. It reads:
Mars (no service)

Re: REGIONAL ASTRONOMY EVENTS IN 2021
I really don't remember that fact. I do remember that I had a brand spanking new SBIG camera (first light there) and it would not start up. I mean "right outta the box" at the SP. I called SBIG and

Re: REGIONAL ASTRONOMY EVENTS IN 2021
Hi Stu - was that the Mid Atlantic Star Party (MASP) you were thinking of?
It was near Robbins, NC. I know you attended at least once, and probably more than that.
For years it was at some scout
