Thanks for the summary, Wayne. I just read Steve Coe's writeup on Cloudynights as well. He wrote that RTMC will be becoming a star party rather than just an expo in future years, moving to the conference to the weekend in May corresponding to New Moon. This move will reduce the burden on the facilities at Camp Oakes considerably, as... 1) most of the folks I know (even Southern Californians) don't consider it to be a dark site, and 2) attendance has been so good until this year thanks in large part to the three-day weekend.
