   We also use an EZ up.  It works well and it was a fraction of the price of the Rdome.

	Keep your eyes peeled on the flea market section here and on the facebook group. Occasionally, folks that had the dome come with the camper decide they don't like them and put them up for sale. I bought an r-dome that was only used once for less than half of dealer cost. I still plan to keep and use my EZ-Up canopy even though I now have an r-dome.

	Hi Craig, I wanted to do the West Virginia Almost Heaven SP but just couldn't schedule it. I would appreciate it if you would let me know how it went, especially the new Rpod experience. Maybe a photo or two would help me get this party in next year. Thanks for your reply and kind offer to share astrophotography tips. John Occhuizzo stargeezer15601

	Hi Doc, I have never stayed at Cherry Springs. My first r-pod outing will be this coming weekend at the Almost Heaven Star Party in West Virginia. Then next month I am tackling a trip to the Oklahoma panhandle for the OkieTex Star Party. It will be my 4th time there, but first time sans observatory tent. It's been a great year for me for astronomy upgrades... Besides the big one (r-pod), I also upgraded to an AP1100 mount, a TEC140, and an SBIG STT8300. I've been trying to do astrophotography for about 7 years, now. I keep a sporadically updated blog that links to a few of my images at http://Www.MagicShirtAstro.com Hope to run into you, as well! At least you will be easy to find in your pod. If you ever want to talk astrophotography, please feel free to contact me: cgsathome@yahoodotcom Craig

	Hi Craig, I can't believe there is another astrophotographer in an R pod so close to Greensburg. It would be a pleasure to bump into you at a star party and compare notes. I use a Canon Rebel model ts on my Meade lx75 astrograph. Just starting out in this endeavor although I've been stargazing since the 60's. Ever been to Cherry Springs? I'm doing my maiden voyage with the Rpod at Keystone state park the week after labor day. Clear skies, Doc John Occhuizzo stargeezer 15601

	Welcome. We mostly just used two EZ-ups. There are times where you can't easily set up the dome (or can't at all), like close-by trees or slopes, but you can put the EZ-ups anywhere.

	I looked at the Paha Que. I think it's a great solution. Thanks for the tip! Stargeezer15601
