[Atmob-club] Stellafane newbie question

[William Lee]

I have a Stellafane newbie question. (I've only been once--and that  
was a day trip.) I'm planning on camping and have a Kendrick  
Observer's Tent, so I was wondering if it was better to set up my  
scope in my tent rather than at the telescope field. I'm bringing  
commercial scopes (a C8 and an 4" APO) on a commercial mount (G-11),  
so it's not like they're going to need to be there for competition. On  
the other hand, if everyone is up on the field, shouldn't I be? And  
does anyone ever have problems leaving their scopes up on the field?

Thanks,
Bill
