Nice crowd! I see TomW on the far left, and I think that's Ron (rboe) and Gary (half meter) in the middle on the far side (Ron in the yellow shirt), and maybe Jim (Skylook) next to Gary? I know I'm missing some CNers but those are the only ones I can tell offhand...

Thanks for the pics, Peter!

Wow, Steph, I knew where I was standing and couldn't see me until you found us.

Tom's pretty easy to find, and Ron's yellow shirt is the key to the rest!

A couple of shots from the 2006 Deep South Regional Star Gaze

First, the NW corner of the field, looking SW; that's my 14.5" TeleKit, Bob Schilling's 22" Starmaster, Beth Watzke's 14.5" NightSky scope and who knows what else. All the white canopies made it look a bit like Camelot.

I'm sure they'll start showing up in 10 days or so. I don't do photo stuff, and my wife is strictly film.

Nice web site, Kevin. And nice pic of the All-Arizona Messier Marathon; I see the desertstars, rboe, and skylook123 clump on the right edge.

Are you going to come up to the GCSP?
