This August I attended the 80th Stellafane Convention held in Springfield Vermont. The Con­vention is the oldest and one of the largest assemblies of night sky enthusiasts. It has been hosted here at the birthplace of American amateur telescope making by the Springfield Telescope Makers since 1926. The legendary clubhouse, a.k.a. the Pink House, and the Porter Turret Telescope are pictured.
