"Linuxastronomy.org" first group travel trip.
We asked who would be interested and could travel for about a week, we did a three persons trip. It does not seems to be a lot of people, but for a first trip, it is not bad at all.

Premier voyage pour notre group "Linuxastronomy.org".
Nous avons demande qui serait interesse par un voyage d'environ une semaine, ainsi que qui pourrait le faire. Nous somme finalement parti a trois personnes. Ca peut paraitre peu de monde, mais ce n'est pas si mal pour un premier voyage.

I wanted to see it all my life. It seems so close and so far at the same time.
It was a long drive, but I feel so good to be here.


Je voulais le voir depuis mon plus jeune age. Il semble si proche et si loin a la fois.
La route etait longue, mais quel bien etre, une fois arrive.

Snow in August by 100 + degree F... unless it is hail ;-)
It helped to cool down the air.
Picture taken at the eastern side campground, called "Desert View".

Camera Fans.
This is a "quality" telescope and is equal to a 1750 mm telephoto lense.
Robust perhaps, but the optical quality was so-so.


Passionnes de photographie.
Ceci est un telescope de "qualite", il est l'equivalent d'un tele-objectif d'appareil photographique de 1750 mm.
Robuste peut-etre, par contre la qualite optique etait discutable.




I have never had such a fun time.

Matthew s'amuse.
