[AZ-Observing] First Time in Dark Skies

I'd like to thank Joe and Andrew for a great novice meeting Saturday.  
Billie left early, so I enjoyed a 2 to 1 experienced to novice ratio.  
Much was learned.  Most importantly, I learned what those "concentric 
rings", when star testing collimation, are supposed to look like.  I had 
a different picture in my head.  We had a few holds for clouds but most 
of the time there was something to observe.  I saw the orion nebula for 
the first time and then found it in my own 'scope.  I also saw comet 
Machholz and a galaxy.  I looked at Saturn too but I've seen that from 
my back yard.  I'll be out again.
