CGO Star Party Aug 10 Report

Post by heinerv »

Clear Sky Chart and Clearoutside indicated wonderful skies. However, the smoke was there. No, Sagittarius, Scorpius, or Capricornus. Planets around. Like looking through a filter. However, we had lot's of new members and visitors; at least 15 in all. 2 larger groups. We had visitors and new members from Iowa (joined that night), Faribault, and Eagan to name some of the places. Nancy conducted training on opening/closing CGO. Steve trained people on the BAD and I worked with several on the 16. So in the end it was a fun night. We could show the planets and some of the brighter objects and got to meet lots of new people. Actually, the new members and visitors outnumbered the old timers there.


Notice that Nancy was helping to the last. We are going to miss her.
