It just doesn't work very well when more than a few people use it at one time.

However, the skies cleared as evening came on.

I only looked through this scope during the day time. It was trained on a light house 12 miles away and we could see the light as it rotated....awesome!

Well, sure, but it's a long drive for me and there are some other star parties I'd like to go to as well. I've enjoyed my time here without question though. What's not to like...dark skies, vendors, meeting fellow amateurs and talking shop, and observing together. There were a number of 'shooting stars', one fireball that lit the whole area, and a lot of really nice streakers.

Sure glad I did as it was a great week of dark, steady, clear skies for the most part. I'll post pic later of the winning deep sky image too Drove straight back yesterday, left at 8:10 and arrived home at 3:30 this morning. 1175 miles, and don't want to count the gallons of diesel. But always worth the trip!
