Event Report
Comments and anecdotes about the event:
The evening began with heavy rain, then blue sky, then thick clouds. The clouds dissipated around 10:30 PM. While a touch hazy, we had the best sky for an open house this summer. The Milky Way was easily visible. We packed up at about 1:30 AM. Lowbrows helping were Jack Brisbin (McMath), Jim Forrester (telescope), Tim Miller (telescope), Bill Paulson (telescope), Adrian Bradley (McMath), Charlie Nielsen OHC and McMath), and Ken Cook (Greeter)
