TIG Star Party
Our first trek to Blue Canyon this year was a great success.
We had a great turnout and enjoyed some great dark skies as well as everyone's company.
It was cool when we first arrived and was a brisk 40 degrees at 1130 pm.
Despite the cold we were able to observe lots of objects that aren't visible down in the valley.
Many thanks to Richard Sandler for hosting our group.
