FEBRUARY 2005
One Saturday night, mid February 2005, we arranged an observing session thanks to Tony's invitation in his home-terrace. Me, Chris, Nick and Tony set up our equipment early afternoon. As the night was falling the cold was noticeable but our heavy clothing kept us warm enough to stay there till 23.00. At that time the pizza delivery boy came and we had a break to eat something. Some good sweet wine and some cigars were our company even after the break when we returned on the rooftop to continue our observing session. Below there are some photos taken at that night. In the first photo all of us, from left to right Chris, Marinos, Nick and our host Tony. One thankful coincidence was that Jupiter was rising at the time this photograph was taken as shown in the up-right corner.
Another one long exposure of ourselves together with our equipment.
This is a photo of me with the 5" Intes-Micromaksutov on a Celestron AS-GT mount. This is Chris' equipment.
