Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
Fantastic event! A lot of great participation despite the cloudy skies. We were able to star hop through the brief breaks in cloud cover, trained several folks to run the 8" Dobsonian as well as help one participant learn more about their own telescope. Great turnout, great engagement.
