It's 2006. It's time to recognize that we are in a new century and that some of the Midwest star party "traditions" that we've been clinging to just aren't working anymore. In the classic American business tradition of finding a need and serving it well, 20/20 Telescopes and Binoculars is sponsoring EPOCH 2007. Travelling across the country and attending dozens of star party events over the last ten years has given us an unparallelled perspective of what amateur astronomers want in a star party, what works, and what doesn't work. We understand that for many amateurs, the time they spend at a star party might constitute a large part of their available observing and vacation time for a year. This must be quality time, and we are 100% committed to making it so.
We will be updating this page weekly from this point on, so please add it to your favorites and check it frequently so that you can stay up to date on the most exciting developments in Midwest astronomy in the 21st Century!
