I'm not sure of the variety either but I am sure it's a beautiful shot.
Nicely done.

Prairie Skies/ Astrofest

Posted By Robert Watters

I and a group of our club members attended AstroFest last year for the first time, what a disappointment. Many of us will not be going back as long as it's held at the Vana's site. We did Prairie Skies it's first year, while attendance was down (which was nice) it was still quite enjoyable and in my opinion a much better site (facilities, daytime interests, charm).
If you are going for the vendors then AstroFest is probably going to be the better choice since they have the bigger vendor draw, but I think vendor attendance is down at star parties in general (E-commerce).
I really wish that both star parties would look for darker sites to the west or north. smile

Nice one.
You need to get that D200 fired up now, I think you'll see a significant improvement over the film. smile

This is a tough one Chris.
I'm going to go with the White-tailed because of the tail color, the wing tip to tail length, and more grayish bill. They seem to have a very small area along the gulf coast in Texas so if that is what it turns up to be, nice catch!
