| NOTES |
: |
Images taken at Camp Ruth Lee @ 2005 Deep South Regional Star Gaze north of Clinton, Louisiana. Great astronomy & friends, dark skies, good weather, and most of all, an escape for many of us from Louisiana/Mississippi/Alabama to get our minds off the recent Hurricane impact to each of us. This was one star party and year we'll all remember. |
