Comments and anecdotes about the event:
This was an unplanned event. Someone on Facebook asked if we were going to have the observatory open for the Super Blue Moon and Saturn opposition. I decided we could open up and see if some people would come. There were clouds earlier but at moonrise there were only a few thick clouds in the East. After an hour there weren't any clouds to speak of and we had a really clear sky. We had several groups that had never been to the observatory before, and at least one group we will expect to definitely see again.
