Peralta Trails Elementary School

Notes from Bill Dellinges -
A good time was had by all last night with our impromptu SP. Thanks to Jerry for suggesting it. Conditions were about as good as it gets, notwithstanding the LP we are stuck with there. Clear, no moon, no wind, comfortable temps. In attendance: Kathleen, 80mm refractor, John, CPC 8, Bill F., Meade 8" SCT, Dan and wife, 10" Dob, Jean, 16x70 bino, Bill R., ~80mm refractor, Jerry and grand daughter Trinity, 7" Sky Watcher Mak-Cass, yours truly Bill D., 20x100 bino, 4" Edmond Astroscan (killer telescope).

Lots of observing, sharing, teaching, advising. Some visitors who appeared out of the dark.
