Inventory
Prior to 2020 NMSU required all tagged items to be scanned with a hand-held device. Post 2020, we now (currently) only have to visually verify items that have a cost of $5,000 or greater (at time of purchase).
Astronomy has *a lot* of items, hopefully we'll never have to scan them all. Here's a “cheat sheet” compiled from Zach's notes across the years to help with inventory. The below items are for things that only show up on our >$5,000 inventory sheet.

Random stuff
- If the tag starts with a U that means normal money was used to buy it. If the tag starts with an F that means Govt money was used to buy it.
- Note, while we indicate changes in location each year, those changes don't seem to carry over to the next year's spreadsheet.
