Last night was just wonderful at Eagle Bluff, for sure an AGNFA.
I believe we had 10 people and 7 scopes. I think Randy had WALL-E set up as well. Mainly Rochester folks, but we also had Nathan from Winona. Randy pulled an accidental 'partial' 'Kirk'. He got there a little late because he had to replace the flat tire on his trailer, not really that late, barely 'Kirkish'. Meanwhile, going 'total' 'Kirk' was Captain Kirk himself. He slipped in sometime along the way.
Early during the observing we had visitors. Eagle Bluff was hosting a women's trout fishing group and we probably had 1-2 dozen of them show up. Not sure what all everyone showed them, at various times I showed Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, M13, M57, M104, Albireo. Perhaps others that escape me. Plenty of oh's and ah's!
The surprise of the night was that after midnight we had a Duane Deal and family sighting. They came to take in the sights and Duane also had requests to see some of his favorites.
All in all an fantastic night! AGNFA!
