[Chaos-l] Power At Winter Star Party

[Robert Nielsen]

Mark,

Hmmm. Having just purchased my new telescope, I've searched for them on 
Google and found the following picture:

http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.abmedia.com/astro/res/7371.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.abmedia.com/astro/articles/wsp06-trip.html&h=529&w=800&sz=179&tbnid=w_reRr4BmjkJ::&tbnh=95&tbnw=143&prev=/images%3Fq%3DMewlon%2B300%2Bphotos&usg=__EZH60nv_YnX_iemwjXTcKHutd5s=&sa=X&oi=image_result&resnum=1&ct=image&cd=1

Scroll down to the third picture (the one of the Mewlon 300 on the 
beach) and note the orange extension cord at the bottom. Admittedly, 
this is from 2006, and the owner could have a generator off the picture 
that they are using, but it *appears* that they had electricity at one 
time at the Winter Star Party.

What do you remember, Jayme or Walter?
