Here are a couple of telescope pics I took at Chiefland Star Party this
last weekend (held at Chiefland Astronomy Village, FL, where from now
on they will have a monthly member star party.)(I've left out the very
many nice giant Obsessions, Starstructures, and others, and there were
MANY!)

Hi Jason:

I'm really just pulling your leg. Great pictures of a great star party.
Due to other committments, I was only able to be on site for two
nights, but they were two great nights. What a great way to say
"goodbye" to the Fall CAV star party!

Peace,
Rod Mollise

I don't remember shooting a Nextar 11, but I'll take a look what I have
(I took about 64 shots of scopes and other Chiefland star party things,
I avoided posting a few that I liked because they had close up face
shots (I don't have releases) so I'd have to edit them, and I didn't
post many because they were of more common scopes, but if I see
something that looks like Old Betsy I'll post it here tomorrow (the
images are on another machine and I'm currently at work on this one.)

Regards, Jason H.

Great pic's and from the looks of the sky all of those scopes were put to
good use!
