Tonight the club held a public star party at my newly finished concrete pad of my observatory in construction. About 7 club members showed up, including 3 new members. We met in my field where the concrete pad was just poured about 3 weeks ago. Great time with everyone there.
Night started out breezy and chilly. Eventually the winds died down a little and it wasn’t as bad to be outside. Kept the mosquitoes away. Transparency wasn’t great and neither was seeing. But we made the best of it. With my dob setup on the concrete pad, we looked at M57, M13, M10 and M12 in Ophiuchus, and M4 in Scorpius. I tried to hunt down M80 but wasn’t successful. Spent about 2 or so hours before people started to pack up and leave.
