    Golden State Star Party 2016

    Less than a month away.
    Yes there are short nights.
    But they are memorable.
    Good people. Good town. Good food.
    Good skies.

    With a 28 inch scope? Can I just leave the 22 at home and be your buddy all night?!

    That's why I didn't jump in so quick!...ha, ha.

    I'll be there with my 24-inch, Jeff, as well as Bob Douglas with his 28-inch, probably Rick Linden with his 32-inch and more.

    Ya know... I made trade the 22 for a shorty 20...
    So what you are saying is I can just be yours and Bob's fan boy? And just bring a few finderscopes (aka refactors) for the heck of it?
