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.
