Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
We had another great outing tonight at the Mullet Hall. Three members, 3 telescopes/1 binocular, and 25 visitors. Lots of kids and a few repeat visitors. Two families set up their own telescopes. The skies were clear and the seeing was decent. High clouds moved in about 9:30. We started with Jupiter, was able to show the little dot Uranus, Orion Nebula, the double star Mizar, Castor and ended on the Rosetta Nebula. We packed up at 10:30.
