Default My other telescope - the Big one
This is my other scope, which I use only for major multi-night observing sessions. It is a 30" (76cm) diameter scope. It is about 12.5 feet (3.8 meters) long.

The first photo is of myself attending to the telescope at the Texas Star Party (TSP) in west texas. This event is the darkest and best star party held in the US. The skies are incredibly dark here.

The second one was taken by a friend at the Golden State Star Party (GSSP) in north eastern corner of California. It is also very dark here.

The third photo was taken by a photojournalist (not a great camera) of myself and my daughter with the 30" at GSSP.
