I can already see you at the check-in counter with your 18" .... "I promise to disassemble it on the plane and store it in the overhead cabin" and "no, no, no, it is not a weapon of mass destruction" ... :mrgreen:

Make it here just once and you WILL be back every year. The Milky Way looks like one serious overhead "cloud" running from the northeastern to the southwestern horizon.Sounds like a nice trip, all I need to do now is convince herself that I should be allowed go Difficult but not impossible.
If you think you know the constellations inside out, you WILL be lost once you look at the sky from Mount Parnon .... so many stars that you do not know where to begin and where to end.
