My annual Starhouse Star Party will be held on September 9th starting at 6pm.
For those unfamiliar with this, it is more "party" than "star party". We have a keg of beer and BBQ and bonfire. I open up my observatory and show people stuff. Generally 3 or 4 other people set up scopes, too, to help show people stuff. Usually we get a few MASers every year. You are all invited and you are welcome to bring friends. I very much encourage you to bring a telescope, too. Many of us set up tents and spend the night, so please join us if you have a tent. We serve coffee and breakfast in the morning.
My observatory is about 1 hours southwest of Minneapolis near Cologne, MN. Rather than post the directions for all the internet to see, please email me if you think you might come and I will get you the directions.
See you there?

Re: Starhouse Star Party
It's that time of year again. The party is on September 8th this year, otherwise identical to the previous description. Let me know if you think you might come.
Cheers,

Michael,
Sounds interesting. I'll see if I can make it. Which would be more helpful to bring, a 15" Obsession or an NP127?

Whichever is convenient for you. A 15" scope would be a lot of fun!egage wrote:Sounds interesting. I'll see if I can make it. Which would be more helpful to bring, a 15" Obsession or an NP127?
