Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
We almost canceled this session due to an initial poor weather forecast but glad we didn’t. A group of cub scouts, parents, other family members and visitors showed up. In all we had about 50 people who were able to see 4 planets, the Orion Nebula, the Pleides, a nice ISS pass and a number of constellations, in spite of light clouds. 6 members with 4 telescopes and one visitor with his own equipment acted as presenters to the crowd. It was our best attended event of the new year.
