A few Canyon Diablo irons

Another sculptural one. This one is 67g.
The photo makes it look like an island rising out of the sea.

Absolutely beautiful, Greg! Thanks so much!
Makes me want to visit the land down under again.
Next time, I will at least bring a small scope! grin

GCSP - two weeks and counting!

Posted By Linton Rohr
Very well then, Jim. I'll buy dinner. wink
I'm getting pretty excited, too.
I'd better start getting my last minute prep
work done, before it's...the last minute!

Here's a couple from the Griffith Observatory collection in L.A.
A little nicer than any of mine!

Grand Canyon Star Party

Posted By Linton Rohr
Hello Mark.
I just returned home last night, having spent the week following GCSP in Utah.
I had a great time, spending the first half on the South Rim, and the second on the North.
Transparency was excellent most of the week, with a spattering of clouds on a couple nights.
Seeing was mostly average, but periods of excellence revealed outstanding detail on Jupiter.
We had to contend with an "early"-rising last-quarter moon the first few days,
but that became less of a problem with each passing night.
Temperatures were milder than I had expected (low 60's), and my cold-weather clothes got very little use.
All-in-all, it was a great event on both rims, and I'd like to thank the organizers.
Hope you can make it next year!
Linton
