The 2006 Black Forest Star Party, Telescopes

The Black Forest Star Party is held once a year in Northern Pennsylvania. In 2006 a number of Lowbrows attended.

The following photographs show a few of the telescopes at the star party.

The scope on the left is a TMB 175 Classic CNC on an AP 900GTO and a Monolith pier, owned by Eric Baumgartner. The one on the right is Jim Cortina’s “grab and go scope,” a TMB 175 Classic CNC on his AP 1200GTO and a Monolith pier, and it has an SV80s finder.
