The weekend star parties of friday and saturday were a great success! The weather made us restrict viewing to Jupiter on friday and early saturday evenings, but we had some very transparent conditions that were enjoyed by our vistors later saturday night. We had about 44 vistors on friday and a would say a bit more perhaps on saturday, including a club scout troop from Bridgeville. Saturday we were assisted by members of the Wireless Association of the South Hills who hopefully will be attending our regular season star parties. They are a very interesting group of fellows who have the capability to contact the Space Shuttle and the ISS - wow!! Here is a photo essay of the events of both evenings!
