The Pink Clubhouse. Stellafane Amateur Telescope Makers Convention. A big wonderful Star party. The convention is usually scheduled over the weekend of the new moon closest to the height of the Perseid meteor shower. The first Stellafane Convention was held in 1926 and has been held each year since with the exception of 1949 – 1953 and 2020. It’s located on Breezy Hill in Springfield, Vermont. I’ve been to 18 or 19 of these conventions. So many telescopes, so many meteors, so many good times.
