Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
This was our March public stargazing event at our "home base" of Robinson Preserve in Bradenton Florida. We had a large and enthusiastic turnout of over 200 people. The skies were perfect allowing perhaps the very best view I've ever had of Jupiter.
