Many thanks again to Dean Ketelsen and the National Park Service.


Large ditto to that. I was around for the first night, watching
Dean run around and keep things from getting wildly out of hand
(there were 200+ people at the dusk talk). Views in everyone's
telescopes were stunning - what a treat not to have to imagine
the spiral pattern in M51. But it was M13 in the 24-inch that
absolutely took my breath away. Some of the views even impressed
my 12-year-old who I talked into coming up from the hotel in Williams
for the eveing...
