Re: Stuanton River Star Party equipment logistics questions
Bob is correct, with one caveat.
If you have a large RV you won't be able to drive that on the observing field, you'll have to park in the lot next to it.

Stuanton River Star Party equipment logistics questions
From what I see on at http://chaosastro.org/starparty/ you can set up your equipment on the field but have to camp nearby.

Last Night
Wow a surprisingly wonderful evening last night. Very good seeing compared to what I've had lately. I was having trouble keeping up with Kent's observing lists with my refactor on a manual alt/az

Re: Unusual first light
Glad it’s working out Mark. I’ve read that the success rate is very high on that surgery with few complications. I’m sure more of us will get there as the years go by, and glad to hear that
