Comments and anecdotes about the event:
I heard that we had around 60 people at the observatory last night. There were several people in the workshop working on their telescopes and grinding mirrors. The first Winter Skies astronomy class was busy in the classroom while other members spent the evening chatting together and meeting new members and the public.
