Well.... what can I say, besides WOW!!!!
This was my first Star Party, and it's been an incredible experience...
I stayed from Monday through Friday, and had all 4 nights of viewing, enjoying every single second of it!
I got to log several objects, probably from 150-200 (still have to organize my notes, but mostly Messier & Caldwell), and tried to collect as many as I could, knowing that going back home, the Light Pollution would not allow me to wiew them again...
I would roughly estimate about 500-600 people, and about 3/4 of that number for scopes... just unbelievable!
I got to meet several people, made some good friends, and enjoyed viewing through several different scopes, getting a good feeling for what they can offer...
All in all, this has been something that I'll remember for life, and I'll make sure to see you all next year, if God lets me...
Clear dark skies my friends!
