I would like to take this opportunity to say that maybe the thread the other day got out of hand. It was not my place to discuss issues and projects that TEC ( Yuri ) is working on, and it should be left between TEC and their customers.
This is a private issue between TEC and their customer. Since it did not directly affect me it was none of my business

Chiefland Star Party, Added Bonus too

Posted By Mark Keitel
Not only was the weather the best I have even seen at a star party, only one bad night. Here in Florida we even had the Aurora show for hours on end. After getting there on Saturday our little group grew to where the three fields were filled making this the biggest turn out that I can remember there being.

One of the darkest skies in Florida where it is warm in the dark and "cold" Yes I know you Wisconson boys thought that the 36 degree night on Thursday was a spring day. But was cold for here in Florida. Most nights this time of year in Chiefland are about 45 though.

Can not wait till next year now

Star party scope and Kendrick tent

Posted By Mark Keitel
This is my "transportable" set-up. The Kendrick tent when closed up was fine in 45mpg winds with stronger gusts and heavy rain that came through early Wed morning. Second year that the tent went through this type of weather and just was perfect for it.

Transportable set-up?????

Posted By Mark Keitel
Would not call this portable yet not to bad to set-up in the field for a week. Fit in the Kendrick tent, and good thing since 45mph winds with much stronger gusts and heavy rains came though early Wed morning.

Image taken at the Chiefland Star Party, Florida. Best Star Party I have been to to date

Here is part of the first image to be processed
Have the color data but forgot to do the darks for it so will be done this week and will post this in color
Taken on Thursday night ( yes during the power outage ), I am glad that I was running on battery and inverters, there were so many people at the Chiefland Star party this year, and the best star party so far that I have been to, the transformer on the pole out on the street leading to the event blew Thursday night. I can say though that within a couple of hours the electric company was out there at about 1:30am and restored power back to the event and the next day a much larger transformer was put in its place

Tak FSQ 106
SBIG 10xe
10nm Ha filter

900 sec x 17

Thank you and hope you enjoy
