i just looked her up. interesting!
it was actually pretty fun! they were really nice guys, young, all 3 of them are in the same class so they already knew each other, but we got along just fine sharing the 2 different telescopes. one was a 6 inch one a 10 inch . With the cloud cover tonite, it was kinda hit and miss, we spent a bit of time on the moon which wasn't really on the agenda but it was the only cloudless spot for a bit. then as the clouds moved we got to see the Pleiades and the M42 nebula, and betelgeuse, and sirius, i've forgotten what else it's all written down in the other room. There was some cluster or other I forget the name, it looked totally cool through the 6 inch telescope especially holy moly so many freakin' stars!!! I'm so glad I signed up and went, and didn't chicken out when I saw it was all guys.
eta: I'm also very glad my wise couchies helped me decide to not quit this class when I realized it was going to be harder than i'd thought. methinks there's a lesson in this for yours truly.
