This picture (by Kurt Dequick) dates from the 2008 Starnights party (http://www.starnights.be) in Ieper, Belgium from Aug 28 – Aug 31 2008. This starparty is the biggest star party in Belgium with more than 100 amateur astronomers showing their instruments, attending daytime lectures and off course observing during the night. On this picture you can see that Obsession telescopes are very popular among observers in Belgium! From left to right, you can see the Obsession telescopes of Jan Vanautgaerden (15”), Olivier Van Aelst (18”), Wim De Meester (18”), David Erzeel (18”) and Luc Waignein (20”). At the very end is the 22” Dobson of Peter Henderickx.
