Co-organizer Russ Genet gave one of the lead-off talks on Friday	Our workshop featured a relaxed, collegial atmosphere at Lowell's Giclas Lecture Hall	On Saturday we visited Anderson Mesa on the way to visit the Discovery Channel Telescope	Showing off our historic 72" Perkins telescope
Our newer 42" telescope was also on the tour	A view of the 72" from the catwalk of the 42"	Gerard van Belle then led the group to visit the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer	A view down the east arm of NPOI with the moon in the background
Gerard is truly out standing in his field (ha ha!)	A view of NPOI's Long Delay Line vacuum pipes	Visitng the NPOI control room	From the mesa, we went on to visit the DCT.  Our group here by the monster mirror cell
Sunset - getting ready for observing	Elliott Horch showed us the ins and outs of speckle with his DSSI camera	Reed Estrada and Wayne Johnson driving the DCT and DSSI, as Russ watches	Our magnificent giant, efficiently and silently running in the darkness
