I was fun indeed. I don't know if someone else will write a report on it, but let me give a quick review. For many of us in John and Lisa's class, it was First Light Night for our scopes. I am terrible remembering names, but there several scopes out there ranging from 10" to 16". We all had a blast taking looks at great targets, like Andromeda (M31) The Hercules cluster (M13) and the Ring Nebula (M57). Later on the night we enjoyed views of the Veil Nebula and the North America Nebula. Other highlights were that there was plenty of food and great company by all. --- Don and Kathryn Mechling <dkmechling@herbsfirst.com> wrote:

John and I are hosting a star party for our telescope making students this weekend. We have about ten openings left for our campsite at Payson Lakes. We are doing some mini classes on eyepieces, collimation, and the sky. We are also feeding people dinner and breakfast. If anyone is interested, send me an email and I can give you more details.
