Connecticut Star Party 09/06/02

Well once again our friends at the Astronomical Society of New Haven have presented a wonderful weekend of fun, stars and sun.  This wonderful event takes place annually in Colebrook, Connecticut.   That weekend, on Saturday night, the ASNH managed to produce the most spectacular presentation of the Aurora Borealis I have ever seen.  Through the courtesy of the ASNH and generosity of Vladimir Ilic here is his photo

Photo details: Camera Vivitar 3800N, Lens 24mm F/2.8, 10-15 sec on Kodak Max 800 film. Taken by Vladimir Ilic, Milford, CT.

Attached are some photos I took at that wonderful weekend.
