I really would have liked to go, but unfortunately I had some conflicting
requirements that took me way north this past weekend: actually east of
Lassen. I can see why Lassen is such a popular place for astronomy. Really
nice and dark skies up that way.
I really enjoyed the pictures that were posted today by Dan Wright. If I
couldn't be there in person I could at least enjoy the photos.
Looks like a very memorable outing.
