Results of Observing Session held on Dec. 1st from 6pm-7:30pm

We had a nice turnout and I want to to thank everyone for taking the time and effort to join us. You are all welcome to join us again at future observing sessions. To recap, we observed the Blue Snowball Nebula; Albireo (a beautiful blue and gold double star system); M31-the Andromeda Galaxy; M15-a globular star cluster; Jupiter and its 4 Galilean moons; and our own full Moon. We had to contend with some clouds and haze which prevented us from seeing a few fainter objects, but we'll try for them again at a future session.
