Okie Tex Star Party...Wow! What a trip. So much to do. So much to see. I wish it was a two week star party!!! I couldn't have asked for better weather. How often do you get to go to a star party and get to see stars 7 out of 7 nights? I was able to obtain images 6 out of 7 nights. The only thing that stopped me the first night was not being able to get all my equipment working right. I would definitely go back here again. I can't stop thinking about it. I wish I was still there. Please enjoy the images.
This was from one of our day trips. We drove to Capulin Volcano. The below picture is from the top of the volcano. Absolutely stunning views.
This is the volcano itself.
This is Camp Billy Joe, my home away from home for a week.
A few miles away, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Colorado meet. This is the marker.
On this day, I took an 8+ mile round trip hike to the highest point in Oklahoma. The picture shows our campsite and the nearby town of Kenton from the highest poing in Oklahoma.
On this day, we drove to Picture Canyon where we saw numerous petroglyphs including the one pictured below.
This is a picture of my new setup out for the first time.
I had seen a lot of beautiful scenery, but wanted to see some mountains. I decided to drive to Taos New Mexico. What a beautiful town. Nearby is the Rio Grande Gorge seen below.
Mountainous view prior to arriving in Taos.
This is me relaxing in my chair doing some naked eye observing while the telescope and camera are collecting photons.
This is a picture Zodiacal Light. It was really that bright!
