100Hours Solo Impromptu Event Bray-Wicklow-Ireland
      #3031642 - 04/08/09 09:27 AM

I set up at 8:30pm and packed up at approx 12:30am on Thursday April 2nd. I estimate I had about 50-60 people look through my telescope. Targets for the night were the Moon and Saturn. Seeing towards the end of the night was exceptional and I was able to give the last few viewers amazing sharp crisp views of Saturn at 428x.

I am not in any of the following pictures by the way.
