Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
Event started with a tour of the workshop and library before moving outside for a laser guided tour of the constellations and individual navigation stars. We moved into the 16" SCT dome for a tour of Jupiter, M42, M1, NGC2264 and NGC2301. From there we toured into the 0.7 meter scope and discussed modern astronomy, instruments and such.
