Came back today, we got rained out tonight so we all packed up and headed home.
I saw some really awesome stuff, including three meteors, one satellite, the Andromeda Galaxy in two different telescopes, and the Pleadies (my favorite thing in the sky) through two scopes as well. The Milky Way was amazing through the scope I took, a little Astroscan that's a reflecting telescope that you can hold.
Oh, and there was a raffle and I won a pair of binoculars!! They're 12 X 60, which is better than the 6 X 35 and 5 X 30 I had taken with me!
And I picked up a book while I was out there called "Dixie City Jam" by James Lee Burke.
So overall I had a lot of fun. I slept well the first night but tonight I found out my tent leaks. Ah well, I have a nice warm bed for tonight anyway.

Don't look at the sun with those. Your eyes will catch on fire and your senses part of your brain will explode.
