I stand corrected. I was reminded after my post, of the Empire Ranch star
parties that I myself attended!

Thank you Dean,

PS I agree, "astronomy is supposed to be fun".

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong...

The All Arizona Star Party was in fact started by TAAA back in the mid-80s
and was held for at least 4-5 times at their Empire Ranch location SE of
Tucson.  I think when I was on their board, we even had a rather poorly
received lecture series on saturday afternoon.  I think to appeal more to
the Phoenix folk, we agreed to release it to the more current central
location in the early '90s.

>> Interesting...In fact, both were started by SAC! (I think.)
