2024 Workday Photos
The Springfield Telescope Makers spend a lot of time maintaining and improving our site and facilities every year. We repair damage to roads and fields, maintain and improve buildings, observatories and telescopes, repair and improve equipment, and of course get ready for and host the annual Stellafane Convention. We are grateful to the many volunteers who help us with this work.
In 2024, Tom Spirock again documented much of this work with photographs, and this page is the result of that effort.
Credits: All photos were taken by STM member Tom Spirock, who spends a lot of time at workdays and gets a lot done including snapping a lot of photos.
