Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
We began by looking at the Moon. After the Moon disappeared behind the hills, we turned our attention to some deep-sky objects, including the Hercules Star Cluster (M13), the Owl Cluster, the Ring Nebula, and the Double Cluster, to name a few. As usual, Allison Waltberg gave a great constellation talk.
