First Attempt & Star Party

Hey kids. This will be where we keep updates and occasional rants. Here’s the first.
Last night’s star party at Cole Canyon Elementary in Murrieta was... packed. We had miserably bad seeing but there was the trusty moon. So the three of us (Chris Guerena, the always trusty Mr Croulet and I) served up said Moon for well over 100 people. For an hour we had lines that never took a break. It was frightening.
This was only the second SP we had this school year, the first being last fall for a cub scout troupe.
Anyways! Good time. Bad seeing, but good times.
