Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
We got a scare as some heavy clouds moved in at 5PM and it looked like we might have to scrub our session, but they blew through and we ended up with decent skies. Saturn and Jupiter were the “stars” of the night along with the Pleiades and the Orion nebula, and lots of EAA captured objects. We had 9 members, 8 telescopes and 1 binocular setup for 25 visitors.
