Hundreds gathered on Washington mountaintop.

About 700 stargazers set up a makeshift village at 6,300 feet in the thin mountain air of the Washington Cascades, where they lived for three days.
The annual Table Mountain Star Party, which was held in late July, is now in its 26th year and brings together astronomers of all levels of expertise, from the professional to those who've never looked into a telescope.
