July 2nd thru the 6th, 2005 Trip Pictures

A Working Observatory

 

This was an exciting weekend.  Joe came out early and started to lay the floor.  Dave and Joe built the new bunk beds for the observatory on Saturday.  And M51 has a supernova to image.  And the impact with comet Tempel is going to happen on this trip.  Lots to do!
