Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
It was a beautiful but cold night with wind that wouldn't quit. I had trouble with my telescope and could not get it aligned so I set up my smart telescope. One of our members came and when he went to unpack his car he realized he left his telescope at home. Then the surprise of the night were two cats that visited and jumped in people's cars. Overall a beautiful night and Saturn was the jewel of the evening
