Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
It was another clear night and a good turnout of both members and visitors. There were 9 members with 5 telescopes and 2 binocular setups. One of the 20 visitors also had their own telescope set up. We were able to see 4 planets and the Moon, in addition to the Orion Nebula and other faint objects. We even had a brief pass of the ISS. It was quite cold and everyone was bundled up.
