Re: [APML] So, what have you forgot to take?

I've forgotten just about everything on one trip or another--even the OTA!
Last time out I stepped onto a scale as I carried each item out to the car, and
made both a list of what boxes I take, and how much each weighed. I live about
150 miles from my primary darksite location, and have to bundle everything into
the back of the car, drag it out at the site, and assemble it. You guys with
permanent installations are really lucky!

I've tossed together a webpage listeing the equipment and its weights at
http://www.sonic.net/~banburys/astroequipment/

No wonder my back seems sore before the evening even starts!
By the way, I've added soldering iron and cable crimping tool to my list
