I didn't have time to go to Capitol Reef so I camped overnight in the Uintas, just near Bald Mt at about 10,000 ft (Lat,Lon 40.68754,-110.907226). I had great fun with the telescope (10" SCT) but didn't bring the cords to connect my battery so I had no clock drive all night. Oh well - I got some nice views of the Milky Way and planets. Here are a few photos: Milky Way: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/zsuBDZkNE7XA8yLUuEQMX9MTjNZETYmyPJy0li...

I was amazed at how mild the temperatures were. I was able to sleep under the stars and didn't need to put on my gloves until the morning. Dion
