Astrophotography on Kitt Peak

Saturday afternoon I went up to Kitt Peak National Observatory(the picnic area) to do some astrophotography. Dean Ketelsen was nice enough to invite me to join the Tucson astronomy club for their bi-annual "starbaque". For those of you who have never been up there, this was my first time, the observatory is a must see.
