I believe I saw Gegenschein before at LSA. I have definitely seen it at
other locations. This time I looked and could not convince myself that I was
seeing anything except sunset.

Well it was me that led Marek into the darkness toward Wagner country at
the other side of the
observing field (on the way stopping by Steve Sergeant's to taste the
next bootle of Highland's Single
Malt).
But it was Marek that calculated the postion of the Gegenschein just
left of the circle of Pisces.
We both thought we saw a lumpy lightess being there, but wanted
confirmation from lumpy darkness.
CalStar was wonderful! Thanks Mike Koop and Mark W!!!
