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

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.

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.

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