2002 Illinois Dark Sky Star Party The photos below were taken a while ago but I had such a great time there and got to meet so many wonderful people I still like to display them! A Kendrick tent and two 12" scopes fight the wind! From left to right:
Charlie Trump, Mike Yancy, me and Doc Clay Mike Fowler from Oceanside Photo & Telescope presenting Doc Clay with a 'Nice Guy' award! 
The photo above is of Doc's new observatory, MPC H45, shortly after its completion. You can see he's telling me where I can go! <grin> 
This is where MPC H45 ended up on Petit Jean Mountain, and believe me its one beautiful place for an observatory!

Dr. P. Clay Sherrod and yours truly. Doc Clay was presenting me with a plaque to commemorate the opening of my observatory. Doc Clay, Mike Weasner and the original MightyETX. Mike is a notable figure on the internet with his own site, Weasner's Mighty ETX Site. There is a link below so be sure to check it out! Weasner's Mighty ETX Site And we certainly can't go without having a photo of Doc's wife Patsy showing us where the "Super" in his world famous Super Charge comes from! |

This pretty much sums up my position at the observatory. |
