CCD project - 2002 June 15 (NOVAC picnic night)

The night of the NOVAC picnic turned out much better than predicted, weather-wise. Never saw a cloud all night. Cool temps and only an occasional breeze. Bugs weren't too bad either, and the dew was minimal. Spent most of the evening trying to get "pretty pictures" of the objects below, and chatting with Ed Karch, Dave Fenstermacher, Mike Mills, and others who swung by to watch the images pop up. I was the last one out of the gate at about 2:30.
