Robert Ferguson Observatory Star Party

Description

Still terrible weather in SF, but it's nice and clear in Sonoma! I attended the star party this recent weekend at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park.

They had a few permanently installed scopes at the Observatory:

A homemade 40" dobsonian (picture here)

A 20" Ritchey–Chrétien (drool)

An 8" refractor (I didn't get any good pictures, sadly)

And a whole bunch of people brought neat toys out to the parking lot too! The giant binoculars were my favorite (I didn't catch the make)

All these photos were taken with my Sony A7III and TTartisans 11mm F2.8 fisheye.
