26 Oct YRSP Observing Report
|
We had ?eight?amateur astronomers attend. Because we were so spread out, I'm not 100% sure how many members of the public attended. I know there were 6 vehicles and I believe approximately 15 people. Thanks to all of the amateurs who came out to support this event!
Unfortunately, after battling clouds & sucker holes most of us started to stow our equipment after 10 PM. The clouds dissipated & the sky cleared so Paul was gracious enough to 'host' several of us via his scope for about an hour. Thanks Paul.
I asked Ranger Charlie if the YRSP?web page could mirror what I post re: public parking. Three 'outreach' vehicles?parked in-between our eight 'amateur vehicles' and the site was a bit crowded. Between safety concerns & headlights in our faces, I'll work with the Park Rangers to see if we can mitigate this in the future.
Saturday Night, 30 November is our next?scheduled open observing?night at YRSP. Once again, thank you to all of the amateurs?who came out to support this event.
