July 17th Oak Flat

We had another successful Oak Flat Star Party with more than 36 telescopes and binoculars available for the more than 200 people we estimated in attendance. It was a great day and despite quite a few clouds throughout the evening we had some great views of the Moon, Saturn, Mars and many deep sky objects. The constellation tour happened later than expected due to clouds at the normal time, but for those who stuck around we were able to present a very nice constellation tour and the clouds cooperated during the tour.


TAAS took advantage of the use of Oak Flat prior to the star party and enjoyed a very successful picnic and very short General Meeting prior to the star party. The food as well as the company was excellent and I would like to thank all those who participated and making this such a huge success.
