The weather cooperated and the sky had good seeing, we setup 4 telescopes and viewed Saturn and its rings, the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules (M13), the Ring Nebula in Lyra (M57), the Dumbbell Nebula near Cygnus (M27), the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and the starburst galaxy (M82). Some say there were over 150 folks who visited, it's a great place to stargaze, thanks to Nicolet College, who also provided light refreshments. The ages of the curious guests were from 5 to 99! It was a great night!
