There are numerous pictures from the oldest observatory in America. The keynote speaker after dinner was John Dobson...and his cosmology is anything but mainstream. Ya hadda be there...

Cool images, Charlie. That's my first view of Mr. Dobson. I would love to hear him someday.

My Ohioan wife's gonna love hearing Ohio has the oldest scope in the US.
