Fresh from the total eclipse on Monday, Dean Covey, Tom Haugh and Robert Sutphen set up scopes for the Topsail Hill Preserve State Park star gaze. After an initial viewing of the Sun we shifted to nighttime mode. We had a fairly good turnout but the high wispy clouds discouraged any deep sky object viewing. Luckily, Saturn was high in the sky and that was our primary target for the evening. A couple of star clusters were visible through the haze, but all the assembled guest observers went home pleased with the event.
