we choose to take a campsite in the park as we may have the neighbors dog and don't want to chance any mishaps from her she knocking anything over + I'm a bit electric dependent . . . . I'm looking forward to learning though you might find me out during the day hiking some trails searching for a few caches

I'll second what said...last fall was my
first trip and I'm planning a return this March...Like most SPs, it's a pay in
advance thingy (exception is ECSP), March 15th is dead line. Barring a hurricane
or health issues, I'll be there with my "dark side" rig. The clear open field is
1000' long and almost as wide. Great place!

Yep, I'll be there with my 18" Obsession. This will be my 4th time going. It's an awesome site with great facilities and the park staff are outstanding. The CHAOS folk, especially Jayme put a lot of effort into it as well and it has paid off.

And yes I spotted the loop. I had to down load it to see it better! Great shot

Jim, what is so much to like about the portable iOptron SkyTracker is the fact I carry it with me, along with my portable tripod (Linhof...25-lbs, portable?) and camera on nights planned for visual work. If I see an image that looks pleasing it's a simple matter to position the camera to capture a dramatic composition. Yes, I still have to polar align but it is surely better than setting up a 200-lbs telescope/EQ mount.
I agree it's a shame all those "grainy" stars got in the way of the brighter Orion stars. Darn. Can you spot Bernard's Loop? Amazing to pick that up in a 91-second exposure. Digital beat film in almost every regard but I seem to recall photographing Bernard's Look with high speed Extachome slide film quite easily and the red color jumped out at you!

Re: Orion
Jim Tallman
I know what you mean about portable. I really like mine also. I’ve had a chance to use it a few times now. The polar alignment is pretty easy with the phone app. If you look in my photo folder on Yahoo, I have some 60sec shots of Orion and Pleiades. Should have gone for 90 on Orion

Re: Orion

Nice picture Kent but you can hardly see Orion in all that noise on the photo.
Actually. Very nice photo Kent. Those Skytrackers are the bomb. So what lens and what ISO did you use?

Back in late fall I saw a lovely view of Orion rising above the treetops and snapped a picture of it. A few nights ago I saw a similar view, this time as Orion was setting, leaving the sky for another season. I grabbed my camera and snapped a 91-second exposure. Take a look under "Photos".
