Good.

Better.  (with my browser default settings)

That "ON" for the star party is much easier to read against the
darker background.

Just one little nitpick... I'd have the background image repeat
less often, maybe fill the background just once with that image.

Even better.  We should have more photos... maybe one for each
category or something.

There's always room for improvement, but we have more of that
room than we should.  Thanks for giving us an idea as to what
we could have.
