@Enterprise. You are welcomed.

I hope someone took a group shot of everyone in this trip.

Some thoughts after seeing these photos:

- G11 on wheels! The 88 FLAK gun is mobile now!
- 3D Sun with Binoviewer!
- Are those fluorescent sticks? LOL. Someone is very afraid of people banging into his setup at night.

- So many refractors. Where are the big CATS?
