If all goes well, Forrest believes that he can have the mirror finished in August. Once the mirror is finished, work can get started on the actual structure of the telescope. The Greenbelt Astronomy Club is trying to arrange a trip to Rocky Gap State Park on the Weekend of September 22-24. Club Treasurer Joel Miller has been there and reports excellent skies. In addition the park has a number of campground, mini-cabins, even a lodge so that depending on interest, vistors can rough it or not without having to leave the park at the end of the night.
Guests are of course welcome.
