There was not a big crowd considering how nice the weather was, and Bill and Gene left early.  I stayed till my camera displayed the battery exausted message around 10:30.  Scott(hope I got your name right?) helped me break down and did a yoemans job of directing folks and answering their questions. I posted some moon images I took in the photo section.    Report
