that was a beutiful couple nights.. Some of that transparency could have been better but it was still a wonderful trip. Saw many of the same objects above.
Sorry I never once got a chance to make the rounds and try and meet any of you.... Too busy looking and sleeping.

My fellow CAS members and I had some fantastic views from Spruce Knob on Friday night and from Dolly Sods on Saturday night.
Some photos have been posted at http://chesmontastro.org/node/11672 and http://chesmontastro.org/node/11572

Great pics Dave, looks like you guys had great weather. Just out of curiosity, how come you guys dont view from the plains of the Mountain Institute, a bunch of Novac guys were set up there the same weekend.
CNers have asked about a donation box for Cloudy Nights over the years, so here you go. Donation is not required by any means, so please enjoy your stay.
