People had binoculars, telescopes, tripods, long lenses etc. But one woman kept taking pictures with her P&S and flash. I felt like gently explaining to her that her flash was unlikely to reach an object many thousands of miles away, but I left her alone. I did blind the whole gang at one point by turning around and taking a picture of THEM with my flash. Nathan B. D.
