I have to agree with Mark. The astronomy festival was a huge success due to the three nights of astonishing clear star-filled skies! Thanks to all from SLAS who came. Over the course of the three nights, we handed out 150, "Deep Space Observer" certificates. One lady, perhaps in her upper 70's commented that she hasn't had so much fun in years! This year we had live-feed video in H-alpha as well as white light viewing. The kids especially loved the programs, "Fun with Optics!" and "Comet Motion Flip Book!" that I conducted in the afternoons. I was able to contract the showing of the big hit "The City Dark" for the rangers to add to their Saturday night program. We had 126 attendees, not counting rangers, for that presentation. I heard we had some 20 telescopes on a couple of nights. The North American Nebula, M13, the Lagoon and Trifid nebulas were easy naked-eye objects to point out to the many newbies present from all over the U.S. Hats off to Ranger Kelly Carroll and his rangers for a well organized festival. Please consider in joining us for next year's 4th annual Great Basin Astronomy Festival which will be held July 11 - 13. Tom Sevcik
