Richard Harding All Messages By This Member #34606 开云体育 I got there (sans scope) about 9:00, and there was quite a large selection of scopes set up. The number of public attendees was quite large as well. Sky was clear and steady, and the night ended with nice views of Saturn!

Adam Bell All Messages By This Member #34608 I showed up late (10 pm) and the parking lot was nearly full. It was my first time, but I would consider that a decent turnout. It was a lot of fun, I'll definitely come for future events. Seems like the scope-less folks had cleared out by midnight. It will be nice towards the fall with more hours of darkness. Temperature dropped and the bugs buggered off. -Adam toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Sun, Jul 3, 2022 at 10:49 AM Mike Wirths <mikewirths1@...> wrote: Glad it was a good turnout!

Attilla Danko All Messages By This Member #34610 Yes. 12:30 departure time from the Carp library parking lot is unfortuneate. We'd probably get more telescopes out to carp star parties if he had permission to stay later. attilla danko, , danko@..., attilladanko@... toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Mon, Jul 4, 2022 at 10:45 AM PolyWogg <thepolyblog@...> wrote: Adam -- FYI, the lot is only good until about 12:30 anyway, no permission to stay later even with scopes.

PolyWogg All Messages By This Member #34611 Surprisingly, Attila, when I did the survey of members previously for star parties, there was very little interest in staying longer. A couple of people at most. Those who want to stay longer generally have better viewing locations than the Carp Library or want to do imaging, which kind of defeats a bit of the purpose of the "public" side of the star party.? It's good, don't?get me wrong, but it's hardly a dark-sky location. :) On the other hand, if they could kill the Diefenbunker lights AND have a full service washroom nearby...but you'd still need an event marshal to agree to be responsible for the location, even if the city and library were willing.
