Upon arrival, Ranger Zach told me Outreach had not been posted [advertised] on the YRSP Website. As such, neither of us expected anyone to show up (and I was the only amateur astronomer in attendance). As such, I didn't set-up and I waited to see if we'd have any public?attendees.

Six adults & two children showed up just after sunset so I hastily set-up my CPC1100.

Near the end of Outreach, Ben - a new local amateur - arrived to 'shake down' a recent purchase (Celestron Ultima 2000 8" SCT). After approximately 90-minutes of testing components, optics and a few of my eyepieces, he accomplished his goals & secured his gear.

I decided to depart with Ben & image?from my home. We departed the park just before 9 P.M. It was a short but productive night. Other than cold hands, the mid-20s temperature was quite bearable.

The next YRSP outreach & obs night will be Saturday, 1 February.
