Star Party at Steve and Rosie Dodder's StoneHaven Observatory -- April 14, 2007
The 147th(?) annual Stone Haven Observatory Star Party and Potluck--A trial run on the refurbed Schwaar bino-scope brings it back to the drawing board. One of the photos from Joe Orman's excellent slide show adventure gets published next day! Well attended by observers/potluckers from as far away as Flagstaff! STS-117a narrowly misses Sam's head in our group photo. Thanks again to the Dodders for bringing us together and for putting up with us. I love you Rosie!
Is Moto statting or stinding? He's actually over 7 feet tall.
Followed by the STS-117a contrail shadow.
Steve demonstrates the binoscope exercise machine. Nice biceps Steve!
Paparazzo
