As Ann Tekatch says in her Chair's report, Starfest was great this year. Three clear nights in a row was a welcome change from the rest of the year. I have said this before, you should go to a star party or one of our organized observing sessions even if you don't own a telescope.
Most people are more than willing to share the view through their scope.
Let's see how good a turnout we can have at the Lunar Eclipse observing session at Rock Chapel. The kids are back to school so fall must be just around the corner. We don't have any star parties to attend once the weather gets cold but as long as you dress warm there will be plenty of opportunities to go observing at one of our organized sessions at Binbrook. Thank you Bill for pointing out that this object is worth trying for.
