Re: [APML] California Comet Adventure - First NEAT image

Great shots wonderful report! I went out to that site last November during
Thanksgiving with Dean Jacobsen, Jim tried to make it but had other
commitments, I missed the trip that Vince had the rattlesnake in the rocker
box, heard that expedition was full of legendary dark sky nights. The wind
killed me on my first night out there, but the next several evenings were
great.

P.S. You didn't need to tell me about the scorpions, now I'll be jumping at
every itch when I'm out there!
