Observing Run, Mexico 2003


This was my second trip to Baja California, Mexico.
Also my third observing run of my Canadian PhD and the second one
with the "Observatorio Astronomico Nacional San Pedro Martir" (OAN-SPM).

All pictures were taken with a Nikon F60 using Kodak Gold Film and
paper and scanned at 150 dpi with a PlusTek OptikPro. For best viewing
it is recommended to set the brightness and contrast at the same level
and the colors also equally balanced. Enjoy!
