Last night we had 10 or scopes show up for a SLAS Sponsored in-reach event at the Z-Rock gravel quarry. Lowell Lyon did comparisons of several different types of filters on a few different nebulas to an interest audience. We even had a guest appearance by the ISS as it blazed across the sky heading east. Broken clouds came in about the time the Clear Sky Clock predicted, around 10:30 PM and left most of us fishing through sucker holes and ducking clouds for an hour before the members started leaving. A few stayed longer and braved the clouds and cold for a while and by 12:30 only German Platero and myself were left. German had just learned to use his Bino-viewer with a lot of help from Kurt Fisher and was having fun with it on his 12" Meade Cat. After 12:30, as everyone else left, as predicted by the Clear Sky Clock, we were treated a moonless crystal clear sky and a blazing Milky way and spent another two hours with spectacular views of numerous deep sky favorites. The Gravel Quarry has a great eastern sky so we hunted down many of the summer favorites for the first time this season. Overall a worthwhile event for SLAS, great viewing if you hung around and a pretty good night for observing and NO POLITICS. (HINT!) Bob Taylor
