I was so looking forward to a clear night that I completely spaced the public star party at SPOC. I hope there was adequate support. I hunted down the rest of the double star's listed in the article in July's S&T and treated myself to views of the two of the three outer planets visible last night, Uranus and Neptune. It's always a pleasure to be around y'all - thanks for the friendship.

That was one of the most beautiful nights of seeing I've encountered close to SLC. I much enjoyed seeing the Veil and Crescent nebulas through Lowell's monster. The night was balmy through the time when the moon rose and almost everybody packed up. The folks there were great! It was pleasant to be around knowledgeable and enthusiastic people who love the night sky. -- Further deponent sayeth not.
