Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
First Star Party since March 2020! From Jim Hendrickson: Star party went well. They had 30. Francine gave her presentation while it got dark, and then we had 3 telescopes (mine, Francine's and Ron Zincone (he came with Heidi, don't know her last name, she came to Seagrave a couple times)). Sky conditions were good, almost ideal (clouds came in after we left). Jupiter, Saturn, Mizar & Alcor, Coathanger Cluster. Ron may have looked at a couple other things but I'm not sure. The Moon was coming up after we packed up. It would have been visible early enough if we had it Thursday.
