Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
This was our annual Full Moon Special Event at Robinson Preserve in Bradenton Florida. The skies were perfect and the full moon was a spectacular visual. We also had great views of Jupiter, some double stars, and some of the brighter deep sky objects.
