Stargazing Pinto Lake Aug 31, 2024  

On August 31, the club did our first star party at Pinto Lake.  Several club member brought their scopes and we entertained over 30 visitors.  The weather forecasts were wrong, so we had almost zero clouds or fog and the temperatures were in the 60s.  Views were had of globular clusters, nebulae, double stars, and the 'star' of the night, Saturn.  Based on this event, we're sure to do it again in 2025.
