The skies were clear and we enjoyed seeing over 13 Perseid Meteors AND the second stage of an Aries 6 rocket venting it's remaining fuel to prepare entering our atmosphere targeting a splashdown into the Indian Ocean! We also enjoyed see the huge globular cluster in Hercules (M13) some 25,000 light years distant and the faint Ring Nebula (M57) in Lyra. The volunteers from Minocqua Winter Park were very helpful, thank you much!
