Re: [TAC] EntropyLuckly all I have ever forgotten are minor things, nothing
that prevents me from observing. But I was constantly worried I would forget
something. So I ended up making a checklist that I now use for all observing
trips. Works great, if I use it I know I will have everything I need. (I
actually have 2 lists, one for a single night observing and another for
multi-night star parties).
Looking forward to get under the stars tonight.

Have you ever forgotten an integral piece of equipment which didn’t allow
you to do any imaging at a site? Once, I did forget to bring my eyepieces
which are all stored in one carry container. Now, all my equipment is
located together for easy transfer to the SUV. Visually, it’s all in one
location on racks and not sitting on any floor. I do the mental check list
before I shut the vehicle door.

Hi All,
In preparing to go observing (imaging actually) at Fremont Peak tomorrow
I started rounding up all of my gear to load into the car. OTA, mount, cold
weather clothing, CCD camera, laptop, table, chair, thermos bottle, Radio
Shack thermometer/hygrometer, dew guards, heaters, and on and on. And I
noticed that all of this stuff seems to have moved out from it's normally
centralized location. In fact, I it seems to me that the longer I go
between observing runs (because of lousy weather, for instance) the more
spread out my gear tends to get. Sort of like a sand castle at the beach
during a rain storm.
Just ramblin'
