Event Report
Comments and anecdotes about the event:
There was much interest in planetary alignment and we viewed the planets that were visible from our vantage point. We also viewed various star clusters and pointed out constellations. Topics of conversation included amateur telescopes, photography, constellation mythology, and where to view the Milky Way.
