The sky was quite clear and the stars looked great. I set up a camera at the back of the property, and it shot some 780 images while we were in front doing our thing. Here is a time lapse view of the milky way moving past the TWR towers during the 2+ hours that we were out there. This video still needs some more work on the colors, but it is still fun to see the stars move across the scene.

Star Party
We have a bunch of volunteers here at TWR right now helping with a variety of projects. We all went out to the transmitter site parking lot Saturday night to look at Saturn, Mars and a bunch of clusters, nebulae and even the Andromeda galaxy, through the Meade LX50, as well as my 20x80 binoculars.
