There is room for the telescope and the view with no moon is best. Jupiter is the big thing in the sky right now, but Orion is up and the telescope shows the nebulas well but everyone should bring binoculars and we will see amazing things. Saturn is my fave but it is too near the Sun now to be seen. So, yes I will bring the telescopes.

I took out the camper bed I had and installed the recliner I have to sleep in. It all seems to work, but I usually bring food and cooking gear and this year it will be just me and maybe some sandwich makings. There is no room. I will bring a plate and a knife, spoon and a fork. Dan and Kat will tell tales of when I didn't even have that at T@P. I will bring a dutch oven for Julie and that will probably feed me the whole weekend. Are we getting a bucket truck for the group photo?
