The conditions ended up being very
poor (as opposed to conditions a
week before at Fremont Peak where the scope had first light), but
it was still good to be under the stars with the local yokels.
The scope really does fit in the
car!
The tightest squeeze, actually, was
the base getting into the trunk.
Once at Dino, I had my usual setup:
scope, observing table, Starbound
Chair for use at the scope, and lawn chair for use at the table.
A modest gathering. By 9pm,
about twice as many people had arrived
as you see here. We had about 10 scopes out, and about as many
scope owners grumbling about the crappy seeing.
