H.A.S. members at TSP that came down to the lower field for a visit. Not to mention the great lightening show we got on Thursday night. |
|
Smaller group of H.A.S. members. |

Michael and July Dye with the shirts that Judy made for Hawaiian Shirt Day. If there was a prize for this day, Michael should have won it. |
|
Sunset on Thursday 05/05/2005 just before the big lightening show. |
|
Not much observing tonight with all the scopes covered for the approaching storm. |
|
One of the other observers waiting for a night under the star. |
|
M-4 Luminous only. I was unable to get the RGB due to fog setting in on Wednesday night. This is 10 1 minutes exposures combined in Maxln, and processed in Photoshop. |
|
Another photo of the scopes covered up and the up coming thunder storm approaching from the West. |
|
Steve and Amelia making their normal daily TSP rounds. Great job again this year Steve and Amelia. |
|
Bob, Susan, Brent and his son. |
|
Brent was kind enough to take my photo on the bench. This is downtown Fort Davis, just outside the soda fountain store. GREAT banana splits. |

|
This is my first attempt to take a photo with my SolarMax 40mm telescope. Need to work on the focus a little..... |
|
This crew just finished at the soda fountain. |

For those of you have have never been to TSP, I put this mosaic of the upper observing field, along with the cabins that you can stay in while you are up there. It is approximately 265 to 270 degrees of view of the upper field. Too much time on my hands and looking for something to do. |
