Here is a Telescope Checklist for remote stargazing

   How many times have you driven a long distance to your favorite observing site and upon unloading your gear the you have forgotten someting vital? You realize that you don't have a battery, an adaptor or even a bottle of water. You just stand there for a second and think 'what a knuckle head' Most of us have done that from time to time.  

   To prevent that from happening again I have compiled a list of the items you will need (or at least what I think you need). As you load your vehicle you just check off each item and that way you know it is loaded and not sitting in the garage or next to the front door. After using this checklist, if you do forget something don't blame me!. Feel free to print this list for yourself.
