Trip Report by Dennis Young
We (my wife Ellen and I) didn’t go to the North Rim so this only concerns the South Rim. Well it was a great time at the Grand Canyon Star Party. Thanks go out to Dean Ketelsen for organizing it, to National Park Service Grand Canyon for having us…
The weather cooperated beautifully, giving us clear skies for most of the week. The seeing was exceptional at the rim, with the high altitude providing crisp, steady views of deep sky objects.
Public outreach was the highlight – sharing views through our telescopes with park visitors who had never seen Saturn’s rings or the Andromeda Galaxy before. Their reactions never get old!
