Black Forest star party is held at Cherry Springs State Park. Cherry Springs
State Park is located in North Central Pennsylvania 10 miles south east of a
little town called Coudersport. The skies here are the darkest that I have seen
east of the Mississippi.
The following pictures here are from my 1st year at Black Forest. At the time I had a 4.5" F8 Meade reflector. I felt like I had the smallest telescope there, but even at the time with the small aperture the viewing was great.
 About 1 hour away from Black Forest. |
 A view down DOB lane. |
 This is my home for the weekend. |
 Here is a home made split ring scope. |
 The upper cage on the split ring scope used a unique ball an socket connection for attaching the upper cage. |
 Part of the drive system on the split ring. |
 This is one of the telescopes that won a award that year. This is a 10" scope (Nice job Chuck) |
 A compact view of Chuck's scope. |
 Chuck's scope all fits into the box pictured minus the truss poles. |
