Welcome to ScopeGeek.NET

These images were captured during an LVAS outing at Redstone Picnic Area adjacent to Lake Mead near Las Vegas, NV.  Redstone is approximately 30 miles north of the Fee Station on Northshore Road.  Even though this site is 35 miles (straight line distance) from Las Vegas, the Vegas light dome is still very prominent.  I forgot to use my Lumicon Deep Sky Filter to knock down the light pollution, so the backgrounds aren’t as dark as they could be and the contrast isn’t all that great.  The MallinCam is allowing me to see things I would not normally see in my 10″ Intelliscope or in a 25″ scope, for that matter.
