@@DeepSkyDude cheers from Sao Paulo - Brazil. Covered with summer clouds for 4 straight months and counting. Cant wait to go back to the field!

[@jimmybuffet4970]

See you for my first ever Okie Tex this year (2023)! I’ve done scopes at the Grand Canyon Star Party twice but somehow have never been to Okie Tex! I live in OK, too, so I have no real excuse! Can’t wait!

[@DeepSkyDude]

Sounds good! See ya there!

[@atbsigma]

Oh yeah and the tarantulas were everywhere!!

[@DeepSkyDude]

And a few black widows too!

[@IrvNation]

I would love to got to one of these one day. Looks like a blast, honestly.

[@DeepSkyDude]

It definitely is and it’ll change your whole outlook on astronomy. At least it did for me.

[@marcellosolferino7923]

Good evening, what type of night vision device was used in the videos? Thank you.

[@davehyper7835]

[@jc4evur661]

So what were the skies like?? How many nights were clear?

[@richardvernon7019]

Great to see everyone meet up under the stars, again....excellent work DSD!

[@DeepSkyDude]

Thanks, Richard! It was amazing to get back out there again.

[@paulmartin5380]

As far as camera/video goes. Great job. Thanks for the video.

[@OkieBobby]

FANtastic!!!!

[@DeepSkyDude]

Thanks so much for watching!! 😃

[@OkieBobby]

@@DeepSkyDude I just got back from the 2022 Okie-Tex, and your videos would be super helpful for anybody considering the trip.

[@jrags35]

Do they have power ran to the field for the mounts or is off bat. ?

[@DeepSkyDude]

They do! The field power is ran specifically for that. You can also use the field power to charge small batteries, laptops and other astro gear.

[@jeffballphoto]

Very nice. I am looking forward to attending my first TSP this month. Hope to see you there.

[@DeepSkyDude]

Hey thanks Jeff! I’ll be there! I’ll be set up on the Upper Field somewhere so come by and say hello!

[@jimpoop]

How many clear nights is there typically through the week?

[@DeepSkyDude]

It depends but we usually get more than 50% of the nights. Sometimes worse or better. Just depends.

[@mosbysmen]

how do you get on the mailing list for this event

[@DeepSkyDude]

There’s no mailing list that I know of. You just sign up, pay your fee and go. It’s really nicely set up.

[@zeitgeist8167]

I had a great time at my first Okie-Tex!

[@DeepSkyDude]

Awesome! It’s really is an incredible event. I love Okie Tex.

[@LiveSteamMad]

Holy cow, it's in Bortle 1, SQM 22.00 !

[@taroman7100]

Nice country. Pleasant viewing fellow star gazers!

[@earth9258]

Is that Bernard’s loop live!? That’s incredible.

[@DeepSkyDude]

That it is!! Filmed with my iPhone. It’s crazy what you can see with those PVS-14’s.

[@gy9326]

@@DeepSkyDude does it look just like that with the eye instead of phone?

[@DeepSkyDude]

@@gy9326 it looks better for sure. The iPhone degrades the image quite a bit.

[@gy9326]

@@DeepSkyDude very cool. I hope to look through one some day. Maybe I’ll pick one up once I’m done schooling or something.

[@DeepSkyDude]

@@gy9326 they’re definitely worth it!

[@MegaMegaman87]

Did you go to OkieTex 2022?

[@DeepSkyDude]

Sure did!!

[@paulmartin5380]

Sorry Peeps, but some people have way to much money. He could move it via arms and legs. Go figure.

[@DeepSkyDude]

Not really. Elvira is FAR too heavy to move as a unit by anyone. I mean, that’s exactly why he built the crawler. He hand built that, he didn’t buy it so it cost less than half of what it would have had he bought it. Don’t disparage someone’s methods just because you can’t afford it or you don’t have the skills to build it. Would you have said that if you knew he had a physical inability to move such a scope? I doubt it. Go figure…
