STAR PARTY

Put on by the Big Sky Astronomy Club, hosted by Lone Pine State Park, we went to a star party Saturday night.  This visitor center is located on a hill overlooking the city of Kalispell, and beyond to Flathead Lake and across the valley to the Jewel Basin Hiking area.

Club members are readying their impressive equipment, waiting for darkness, and also for their president to finish his 1 hour power point presentation on stars.  Very interesting, but I had trouble sitting still, trying to stay awake.  This was just past my bedtime. Guess I'm not the party animal I used to be. :)
