Well,
Dave & I attended the EAE Mt Parnon starparty last weekend in Greece.
Our hosts and our trip were amazing and
The site is absolutely fantastic and at 1420M high and miles away from
any kind of light pollution it is a great place to observe.
Dave and I will do a presentation next meeting on the trip.
Here are a few shots as examples.
All taken with a Canon 350D, 21-24mm lens on an Astrotrac.
Thanks a million to Milkkel for sorting me out with some gear also!

The setting Milky Way & Jupiter.

I've been following the thread on the IFAS boards. It sounds like you had a very very good trip. The beginning of a tradition maybe.

I won't be here for the meeting next month. I fly to Denmark on the 1st of August, so I hope you'll post some more photos.

Mikkel,
I'll drop around some evening to return the gear.
(unless you'd like to make me an offer

)
