Thanks to Mark for organizing the pot luck!

ditto that. The quality of the night was proportional to the amount of hand wringing in advance :)

Highlights for me were:

• logged 70th messier object (M108 - the gee I need a bigger scope galaxy)
• failed to log 71st messier object (M109 - the really isn't there galaxy)
• sol through clouds in Stacy's 80mm
• comet machholz (first comet in a telescope)
• gumbo!
• saturn thru a TAK (wow)
• saturn thru Kevins 15" plettstone (unreal @ 270x, just unreal)
• dozens of meteors
• dozens of really nice people
• impromptu thermal fishnet fashion show
• M46, M47 and NGC 2423 in same FoV, pepper, salt and some other spice
• DBL STF 738 - lambda orion - why do double stars make me happy?

Thank you all who let me have a peek!
