StarHill Saturday - New Members

I had four cars follow me out to Starhill Saturday 6:00 p.m. from the truck stop.  New member Bob Carton, New Member Ellie Terry with a guest (Stephen Bowers) that will join, New member Tony Delia from NFCC, and the mother and daughter that was at the meeting on Monday.

Tony has a 12" Orion Dob but needs help with a collimation.  He said he may be there about 5:00p.m.  next Saturday so Joe can help him. 

We were able to see about 80% of the sky for about 2 hours.  I handed out sky charts and we looked at several constellations.  We looked at Saturn, Andromeda, Pleiades, the Beehive and the Orion Nebula.  A good time was had by all.

Thank you for the report.  Glad y'all got out and enjoyed the night.  I was greatly fooled by the weather reportsSad [:(]  I still plan on going out Saturday the 28th (weather permitting).  Hope we have a good turn out for that night as well.

If I look outside and it looks good sometimes you just have to ignore the reports.
