Hi,

Yesterday was a lot of fun. 1st time in a "REAL" starparty. I Got a lot of images and most of them are bad since it was by 1st time. Anyway I met some people there who are from CN also. Shawn350 was there. I set up my telescope next to him and actuly his telescope in the picture.

More to come.

Ops: I forget the information of the image.

I knew you would say something like that Man It was my 1st time to see the M81 and M82 thanks to you and the telescope. M13 was out of this world. The swan REALY looked like a swan

Catch you later next month.

Ahmed

PS: Do you know that I don't know how do you look like. It was too dark. So if I see you next time and can't tell it is you, sorry in advance. It will be cool if you submit your picture
