Starfest is always a blast! There’s nothing like hanging out with hundreds of people who share an interest in astronomy, and meeting and talking with some of the best and brightest amateurs and professionals who lead big projects, like the Atacama Telescope Array, and Event Horizon Telescope. How cool is that? You can try out new gear, eyepieces, solar filters, binoviewers, look through big glass. Yep, it’s great fun every year.
