See here: https://aas.org/posts/news/2020/02/mont ... nuary-2020 about "the Woodstock of astronomy.""... at the STM meeting on 30 January 1924 the name “Stellar Fane” (fane being an archaic word for temple) was unanimously adopted..."
Have a good time and remember to file a report here for our vicarious edification.

Not sure if I will bring more than my 20x80s and the Tiltall. Perhaps the AVX and the redcat51? Keeping the battery charged will be a problem. Maybe just a barndoor drive with a camera to not carry the weight and minimize the hassle.
