The New Horizons flyby of Pluto is a dominant theme as camp is beset by cloudy weather for several nights. Advanced campers make video of Pluto moving against background stars using telescopes atop a mountain in Chile. Stargazing is limited to between the holes of the clouds. However, Astrocampers made their own Galileoscopes and used them the first night for planetary observing--Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn excel. Images are linked to flickr set.
