Too bad you guys couldn't make it, but obviously someone from the group did! 
The weather in Big Bear was about as good as I have ever seen it for observing. 
The temperature was very comfortable (day and night), the skies were clear and 
steady, and the talks I attended were good, but frankly the skies from my back 
yard are darker and steadier. There were fewer vendors and the attendance was 
about 1100 this year. In all the 20+ years I have attended the RTMC, I have 
never made the swap meet, which is supposed to be the big attractor to this 
event, and this year was no exception! Dr. Ed Krupp, from the Griffith Park 
Planetarium, was the featured speaker and was, as always, excellent. I even 
heard a talk about string theory which was very enjoyable. 
After, I got home last night (Monday), even though I was dead tired and needed 
to get up early for work this morning, I laid in the back of my pickup truck to 
enjoy my night skies for about an hour. However, it was great to see and talk 
to everyone at the RTMC and I'm glad I went. I wish I could have attended the 
SAS Conference, which is held a few days before the RTMC, but I'm sure Gene 
will tell us all about it. This year the SAS held a joint meeting with the 
AAVSO, the international variable star organization. 

Clear skies, 
Wayne (aka Mr. Galaxy)
