The Cast of Characters

After our night of observing until 2 AM, and after a good night's sleep, we met in a diner for breakfast before heading home.  Stan is on the right, and on the left is another friend, Chirag.   We three have traveled together to Big Bend National Park, with other friends.  Chirag is a really passionate night sky photographer and is learning a lot quickly.  He really has a good eye.  He brought his wife and young son on the trip, and they had breakfast with us.  I took this because after a night of observing the stars, we were eating breakfast in the "Starway Diner!"  How appropriate.
