Hi Phil,

Both shots were F/4, 24-70 lens set wide at 24mm, ISO 800.

The first Orion shot was 15.7 seconds, the second was 27.3 seconds. I was using the remote and timing by guesswork (one chimpanzee, two chimpanzee, etc.)

Thanks @Saddletramp for organizing this one, I think everyone had a great time! Thanks @Stepmurr for the great quality pics, I brought my camera but didn't take it out once

Thanks @Dimples, @LongDuck, @rctoyota Cleo, and @Chrismanjs for all the cooking, and to everyone else who contributed, we definitely ate like kings! I'm still reveling in that Saturday night chili and macaroni & cheese...

Thanks everyone who made it for braving the possibility of downpours and coming anyway, we pretty much lucked out and even saw the sun for a good amount of time. Everyone else, wish you could have come but there will always be a next run!

I had a great time, awesome food and evening campfire fun for all. While we did see smoke rain, mostly it was dry and perfect camping weather. The only real rain was in Cochuse Stronghold during dinner. A few of my pics
