Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
Our first night opening club observatory to the public this season. Clear night but it was a full Moon. Used Hastings and Explore Scientific refractors and Mewlon scopes visually with C-14 providing EAA views to 32-inch monitor. Several members with scopes in the observing field. Everyone was so glad to get out under the Moon and stars!
