Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
6 meteors and the ISS were reported by attendees. I had issues (my glasses kept fogging up), so I can only confirm the ISS and one Southern Delta Aquariid. We'll try again at S*QO next weekend. This year's pre-show topics: "2024: Year of Astronomy?" (sunspot cycle, auroras, T CrB) b/w "Save the Date: To Our Children's Children's Children" (upcoming eclipses)
