Impromptu Star Party Report (03/10/26)

[Jose Urias]

Good afternoon HAL,

The night was pretty nice with wonderful weather and nice temperatures. We had a few clouds rolling for like 20 minutes at some point but after that it was all clear and nice.

We had a total of 8 members coming, mostly imaging or troubleshooting their gear, but we also had Ernie observing and sketching a double star for the first time! 

Bianca spent some time observing Jupiter, Orion and the Pleiades through the 10” dob. Federico used his Seestar S30 in EQ mode of the first time.

Danielle was imaging the Rosette nebula, and I believe the rest of the people were imaging galaxies.

Danielle and I were the last ones at the park and we closed it at 11:45. 

There was no incidents during the party.

Thanks for hosting!  I had a chance to process my image this evening and I'm pretty happy with the results of 2 hours' worth of snaps:  Rosette Nebula (NGC 2237)
