Stephen Forbes hosted a club stargaze at his home near Holt on the first Saturday in February. The event drew several club members as well as many different telescope types and models as the Holt skies are some of the darkest in the Panhandle.
Frank Atchison, Dennis Hausch and Dave Halupowski joined Stephen, all bringing telescopes to add to the arsenal. New members joined the crowd in the first club event of the year.
The skies, as promised, were dark and clear. Many objects only viewed via telescope closer to the gulf were obvious naked eye sights and many bright targets were lost amongst normally invisible stars.
