What a great event.....

Posted By Bill Madewell
Well guys, I just went to this years Tennessee Star Party 2007, and I had a nice time. It may not be huge, but it was comfortable and very educational.

The day speakers were very imformitive. Some of the speakers are well known Astrophysicst and NASA deep space and cosmoligist project managers. There was several subjects, tnat I was not aware of, and I learned so much.....
The catered food was great, and the Astro-site was second to none.
That sky was so dark and clear on saturday night , the milky way was clearly seen from horizon to horizon with such very dark lanes. If you missed this Star Party, you missed OUT.....

CS,
