We had a great turnout for our Star Party on October 22nd. Participants were blessed with warm weather and clear skies, and enjoyed a tour of the night sky. The Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) was seen by most attendees, as well as telescopic views of Saturn, a star cluster, the Andromeda Galaxy and a few nebulas. Thanks to Dr. David Hoskin for leading the show!

The Blue Beach walk was a big success. 20 people turned out to join guide Peter Wallace on the tour of this world-famous fossil site. We had perfect weather to stroll the shoreline finding traces of ancient life. Participants walked on the floor of a forest that existed before the era of dinosaurs!
