Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
The clouds rolled in and kept the attendance WAY down. We did recognize one of our members who will be leaving the area at the end on May. Once again our membership rose to the occassion as no fewer than 18 telescopes showed up to participate. However the clouds rolled in and we had to shut down before we even got started.

The telescopes are deployed but the clouds did not cooperate. With a massive array of telescopes the clouds won as we had to shut down before we even got started. Photo by Ed McDonough.
