Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
We had another nice night at the park. There were 9 members out with many telescopes, a binocular setup and a few smart telescopes. About 25 visitors came out, with early attendees getting nice views of a crescent Venus and Mercury. Both of these planets set early. We had a very nice high overhead pass of the ISS and then wowed everyone with views of Saturn. Those with smart telescopes displayed images of Andromeda, the Hercules Cluster and a few other objects.
