"On Friday night, a large group of our members enjoyed an evening of star gazing ,socializing and delicious snacks thanks especially to our new member Kim who baked and brought us warm !! sticky buns! Thanks Kim. 

Brian has 2 telescopes on his country property and throughout the evening kept moving their location to catch the best viewing of various stars, and constellations.As we watched the Milky Way become more and more visible, as it got darker, many satellites and shooting stars could be seen in the sky.There  literally seemed to be millions of twinkling stars above us. Saturn and it's rings were clearly visible from the one telescope for quite awhile and I think we all agree that that was the highlight of the viewing.  Perfectly clear viewing conditions made for a great night of star gazing shared with fire flies and mosquitoes to make it a typically beautiful northern summer night. 

Thanks Brian for hosting and educating all of us on the night sky. "Lyn
