Star Parties II

As a member of the Superstition Mountain Astronomical League, I participate in most of the star parties that are held for the general public. Typically they occur about once a month when the lunar phase will not interfere with observations of faint celestial objects. The pictures here show members of the astronomical group setting up equipment and participating at a starparty on the grounds of a local elementary school. I think the pictures are self-explanatory so I have put them in order with approaching darkness and will not comment further.
