Event Report
Comments and anecdotes about the event:
TURNS OUT THE STAR PARTY STAFF REALLY, REALLY LIKE STICKERS. ONLY ONE PROGRAM TODAY, THE STAFF STAR GAZING TOUR. STARTED OUT WITH THE FIRST FEW STARS THAT POP OUT THIS TIME OF YEAR, THEN GOT SIDE TRACKED WITH ALL THE STARLINK TRAINS. WE SAW 8-10 DIFFERENT TRAINS SOME CLOSE TOGETHER WHERE YOU COULD SEE 3-4 IN THE SKY AT ONCE TO A TOTAL OF 21 IN ONE TRAIN. ONE OF THE PHOTOGRAPHERS SHOWED SOME OF HIS VIDEOS EARLIER IN THE DAY AND HAD OVER 125 DIFFERENT SATELLITES IN HIS 15 MIN VIDEO!!!!!!!! PRETTY BUT TROUBLESOME. FINISHED THE NIGHT OFF WITH A TOUR OF THE MILKY WAY WITH CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES.
