[sac-forum] Re: The good news, SAC returns to astronomy

A sad day for SAC!

Do the SAC members really believe star parties are dangerous and thus require waivers?

To me star parties are no more dangerous than life itself. I feel SAC is shrinking from responsibility by requiring waivers and is very childlike. What is also sad is I did not see even one good reason for the waivers.

The key now seems to be not to be a SAC member and then when attending SAC events just retain your rights and do not sign any waiver. Since there is nothing SAC can do if you are not a member that would seem to be the best approach. I'm sure this will come back to bite SAC. I used to have respect for SAC.

Well, the vote has been taken and the Saguaro Astronomy Club has decided to amend the constitution so that a waiver can be put in place for the Messier Marathon.

I am happy that both sides got to say what they wanted and that the vote was finally taken.

So, as I said earlier, let's get back to astronomy. I think we have beat this horse far too often and I think that SAC needs to return to what it does best-set up some telescopes and look at the sky.

Looking forward to Cherry Road for next Saturday night;
