Observing at Crestview Park

This weekend was the first clear one in many weeks, so I took the telescope up to Crestview Park - which is the observing location used by our local astronomy club. While not a dark sky location in the real sense of the term, it is about as good as it gets in our suburban location. My 9 year-old son had a lot of fun helping to set up, and observing. We stayed late enough in the evening to catch Saturn once it rose out of the horizon haze.

The cardboard box is my makeshift shield for the PC - keeping dew off the laptop, and keeping light from the screen out of our fellow observers' eyes.
