Oct 182016
The last Topsail Hill Preserve public star gaze of 2016 started with questionable weather and quickly went downhill from there. Although the sky was clear when we made the go/no go decision, it was fairly cloudy by the time Dennis Hausch and Tom Haugh arrived to setup solar telescopes. By the time the scopes were setup, the clouds overhead were broken, so only a few of our early guest observers got to view the Sun. Quickly, the clouds closed in and we had to call the event for weather. By the time we got everything loaded back into our vehicles and driven back onto Hwy 98, there were rain drops on the windshields.
We look forward to resuming our Topsail Hill events next year.
