Check here for what went on during the 2001 Stellafane convention.

THANKS TO ALL!!

We wish to extend hearty thanks to all of this year's Stellafane convention volunteers. You enhanced the event in many ways with your presence and hard work. For this, and for having allowed us the real pleasure of getting to know you, thanks a million! 'Till next year's convention, we wish you clear skies and all the best.

Also, we would like to thank all of the conventioneers for attending. For most of the past 75 years, amateur astronomers and telescope makers, from around the world, have gathered to inspire each other, steal each other's telescope making ideas, meet old friends, make some new ones and remember those who are no longer with us. While we regret that, once again, the optical judging was clouded out the convention, in general, was an outstanding success. Please keep the ideas and suggestions coming and we hope to see another excellent crop of new and home made telescopes on the Hill next year. Clear skies!

Sincerely, your friends, the Springfield Telescope Makers.
