Nice image Joe!


Looks like good weather so far this year up at CSSP. I hope I get the chance to make it up there this Summer. It's been too long since I have been up there last.

Hi all,


Anne and I joined Len Jensen up at Cherry Springs State Park for two nights last week. One highlight was a side trip to the newly completed visitor center at the Kinzua Bridge State Park (about an hour and 15 mins. W.). It is worth a look!


Attached is a wide field shot of M8 and M20 from that trip and taken with a tracker. Details below.


Cheers,


Joe

Nice shot Joe!!  It looks like the skies cooperated nicely.

I wish I could've joined you, Anne and Len up there but Tracey and I were on a hiking trip up at Ricketts Glen with some friends.  Hopefully we can rendezvous next time.

Thanks for posting the image.
