I took my 5" refractor to the LDRS-25 rocket launch 45 miles south of Amarillo, TX over the weekend. I got 2 great nights under dark skies and a little solar viewing while watching some "seriously BIG" rockets go up.

This is typical of the larger rockets at LDRS.

Whoa!! Them are some big roman candles! grin
Nice looking 5". Which one is that?
I just bought the 2 speed Crayford and adapter for my 5" Widescan. Can't wait to get it installed.
Still loving my CI-700 mount as well! 8)
