Don't miss out on the RTMC at beautiful hot dusty Camp Oakes near Big Bear Lake, May Thu 22-Mon 26!
Last year the SBAU was well represented, let's do it again. Featured presentations are the astrophotography workshop and the Kepler mission. Aside from that there will be many other presentations that are worth while. Don't forget to grow your beard, bring 2 sleeping bags and good wine.
It will be dusty, and so laid back that you may want to find some distractions such as hiking, seeing the lake or visiting the Starlight Festival nearby. It is fun to walk around the grounds and talk with all the hobbyists who are more than willing to show you their equipment.
