I probably hold the record for forgotten pieces of critical equipment.
The cwt for my old Cave 8" reflector up at The Peak... the primary to my
13" Dob at DV... a cable for my ccd camera at Montebello...
Fortunately, I don't think I've ever forgotten a critical piece of gear
when travelling far, such as Lassen, LSA, VWE, Plettstone, etc. :)
