This is a selection of images taken at the Contemporary Lab Experiences in Astronomy (CLEA) workshop I attended at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania, part of which included a trip to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Greenbank, West Virginia. Many thanks to Dr. Lawrence Marschall, Dick Cooper, and the rest of the wonderful staff for sponsoring this superb workshop. To the participants: thanks for the experience - glad to have made new friends. Feel free to borrow and use any of these images as needed...

Note: GC = Gettysburg College
and GB = Greenbank in the photo descriptions.
Most photos taken with a basic
Kodak digital camera except those noted as (slide). The clearest,
richest images are those scanned from 35mm slide film.
