Many LARGE fish were entered...30" plus in length. Taro Kodama was there from the Kodama Koi farm and I bought his fathers new book. Here is a picture of the sanke and few from the show that I found exciting:

My Walt Hamler 8" F8 Telescope

Beautiful dark skies made me get out my telescope last night.  Jupiter rises in the east and the milky way is directly overhead.  Tonight I tackle Cygnus. Lots of nebulae and galaxies to keep us busy.
