George Reynolds conducted the last lecture on the season at the Kempsville Recreation Center Wednesday night. Club members set up no less than 5 telescopes for the group when the group came outside to

I see that you observed 69 objects with your 8" SCT. I will check those against my logs and add any that are missing to my TODO list to see how many I'll be able to see over the next few years!
