It was very dusty and I expect most people were cleaning their optics when they got home. The gear is pretty impressive, the largest of the 'portable' scopes is a 36 inch Obsession and there are a lot of scopes of 18 inches and larger (18 inches is a popular size). There's also a lot of high-end imaging gear, too, although I didn't get a close look at any of that, as imaging isn't my thing.
I mentioned a 48 inch scope, that belongs to a guy who lives a few miles up the road from the TSP site. I've been fortunate enough to do quite a lot of observing with that scope over the past few years. The scope is as big as it sounds, and it's necessary to climb to the top of a 5 metre ladder to look through the eyepiece at the zenith!
