Event Report
Comments and anecdotes about the event:
We had clear skies with excellent steadiness and good transparency. For the second time in a row, we had a good turnout of club members and many bringing telescopes, and outnumbered our guests, Our OHC was Charlie Nielsen, Greeter was Ken Cook, and main McMath operator was Jack Brisbin. Also helping were Jim Forrester, Tim Miller, Joe Archbold, Barry Wissman, Lee Schroeder, David Cooke, Nick Wutt, and one more "newer" member whose name escaped us. We also started training Nick on operating the McMath.
