THE 2002 STELLAFANE CONVENTION
POST-CONVENTION PAGE
The 2002 Stellafane convention is history and was one of the best yet! The skies cleared long enough Friday night to allow the completion of the optical competition for the first time in four years and Saturday night yielded spectacular skies all night. Many home-made telescopes and lectures on various subjects provided ample opportunity for the conventioneers to learn about telescope making and, of course, there was the meeting of old friends and the making of new. Please check below for details as to the goings on at this past convention. Clear skies!

We offer apologies to anyone who has been waiting for an answer to a question. However, this problem has been fixed so please ?subject=From the Stellafane Home Page">resend if you need to! Thanks.

After the 2001 convention, we received reports and photos from only four people. You may think that your photos and experiences are not important but this is NOT the case! Photos and reports from many people will enable the 2002 convention web pages to give a much more comprehensive view of the convention. And, we need to have your points of view as to what's good and what needs work to continue to improve the convention. Thanks!
