Chris, I am so glad you had a wonderful time at the Grand Canyon Star Party this year! Your enthusiasm is what fuels us and motivates us to drag our heavy pieces of highly polished and finely figured glass to the Canyon. I hope you'll get a chance to return to another GC Star Party in the future. Keep looking up! May your skies be clear and your eyes fully dark adapted!

It was wonderful to be allowed to look through various telescopes - my first time seeing Saturn! The club members were very welcoming, enthusiastic and kept it on a basic level for those of us who aren't into astronomy! I do have a telescope at home and enjoy looking at the moon. I am still working on finding other stars and planets. Thanks to all the club members for an enjoyable evening - it was great addition to the two days at the Grand Canyon!
