RBSE 2000 participants were able to photograph images using the 16-inch telescope at the Kitt Peak Visitors' Center. Through the expert help of operators Adam Block and Steve White a total of five images were taken and processed over the course of some rather dark and stormy nights. Enjoy what you see and visit Kitt Peak when you're in the area. Maybe you'll be able to add your name to the list.
