Chiefland Star Party 2004
THE LAW: Dave Gracie (right) and the Yellow Shirt brigade did a great job of keeping the order. Joe Mize (Sheriff) disappeared just before I snapped the photo (for the 2nd time). Joe must be camera shy.
Jim Kimball and his lovely Takahashi rig. Jim was a little concerned about his slightly disheveled appearance after nights of imaging and no sleep. I told him no one would notice him standing beside that setup.
John O'Neil, his ME mount and imaging machine. John just hangs out in this pose for hours waiting for folks to come by and photgraph him with his setup.
Chiefland Field jam: The sky conditions degraded towards the end of the week, but the entertainment picked up.
Tom Clark's big observatory in the background.
The Kid's grand prize: The Local group did a great job fixing up and donating this scope for the Kid's drawing. It was one very happy little girl who won this (another image hiding in some archive). Freshly collimated by Vic Menard himself
