Friday night 6 members showed up on the hill at the main site. On arrival I got to work setting up my new CG5 mount performed the polar alignment and completed the scope alignment. Low and behold we have success!!!The goto is spot on and tracking is flawless!!!Needless to say I am very happy with my new addition.

We were joined by a group of about 30 scouts and their leaders,that happened to be camping at the park that night.This was the icing on the cake. Successful first light and public night.There were many holy cows, cools,that’s sick,and insane man as we showed them views of the new crescent moon, saturn and some of the brighter messier’s.

The scouts left us about 11:30 and we continued to observe till almost 1:30 even though we had some cloud that blew through about 12:00.The night was concluded at Tim’s shortly after 2:00.

Hopefully the others present that night will add to this report.
