Peralta Trail Star Party 14-Apr-2018

Peralta Trail Star Party 14-Apr-2018

We had a very enjoyable Star Party last night at Peralta Trail Elementary School here in Gold Canyon, under mostly clear and cool skies. Approx.
We had ~60 visitors and many gratifying comments. We showed them mainly the Orion Nebula, several star clusters, double stars and a variety of galaxies.
Lots of good questions (and even a few good answers).
