Comments and anecdotes about the event:
First night had 41 hikers and was too cloudy. Second night had 48 hikers and we had much better skies. We looked at Arcturus, Vega, Deneb, Altair, Dubhe, Merak, Polaris and Antares. We pointed out constellations Lyra, Cygnus, Scorpius, Ursa Major and Minor, Cassiopeia, and Sagittarius.
