Report on the 2/16 CSP!!!

[JoeWM]

We had it all:
Children, Adults, Large and Small telescopes, Dew, Don't, Deep space objects, Planets, Satellites and Wonder.

There were several families with small children that stayed most of the night.
Santa brought one of the families a star blast - We helped set it up for them, align the finder and look at the moon.
Lingering textbook solar loop amazed the crowd.
Very nice woman Maureen just bought a Parks SCT from Scope city and we helped with that as well.
Saturn came up over the trees and it was awesome as ever.
Mars was a nice well defined red round disk.
Orion was blazing
Green laser pointers always are cool.
The space station was the highlight of the evening.
A guy that took John's class several years ago, and never finished, was there with his wife and wants to take the class this fall.

Drinks, Snacks and Jazz at the Beach Chalet topped it off.

Very successful evening!
