Orion Park/Dottie Lynn

Green Oaks & HWY180, now Orion Park
1997

Ricky, Roy and Wally are fully smitten with the Astromony bug. In acts of novice desparation, we endevour to view right in the middle of DF/W at Green Oaks and HWY180. Many great nights spent at the side of the road explaining to local Police that you really do not have to have a license to operate a telescope! Speed of light my foot.

This was originally several acres of undeveloped land. More recently, the area is now known as "Orion Park" with the streets named for constellations. Was the owner inspired by our persistent efforts to filter-out the ten-million halogen street lamps?
