Time: 7 PM - 9:30 PM
Place: Service Road

It took about an hour to get one of the new telescopes to align correctly, although once it did we were able to see the Pleiades, Hyades, double cluster of Perseus, a quadruple star, and a few other objects on the mounts "Tonight's Best" tour function.

From the media center field, we were able to see the constellations Taurus, Pegasus, Casseopeia, Orion, Gemini, Auriga, the Hare, and a few others. In the approximate east, Sirius and Canis Major were rising. Mr. Percival's ridiculously powerful laser pointer made spotting constellations infinitely easier.
