Thanks, but I think most of my experience is in posting pictures of my scope.... 
This summer I plan on doing a Messier hunt with LBM, and photographing them as well.....

Folks, this thread is for posting pics of past star parties. Discussions of attending future star parties need to go under their respective threads (or a new thread started, if applicable). I know AAMM has one, for instance. 
Thanks!
