This year's Nightfall had, by far, the best nighttime skies in the seven years that I've attended.

Jeff, our neighbor across the street got himself a new camper rig.

That's me. I set up the solar scope and did some "Sidewalk Solar" in the afternoons. An umbrella is required equipment down there. It was around 90 degrees during the day.

The umbrella also helps to keep the Sun out of your eyes when looking through the scope. And it looks really cool! :)

Terry with his camera attached to the solar scope.

Here we are at the social on Friday afternoon. Annie, Al, Ron and Jeff.

A couple more pictures of the social.

Right next to the BBQ area is a parking lot that serves as a general observing area (for those without an RV slip).

Terry took this with my solar scope and his DSLR camera. He's getting pretty good at solar imaging.
