Tonight was the club's annual Fall picnic.  We met at Bristol's "Charlie Robinette Park" and had a great time.  Clouds were in the air so no viewing was done, although we did get a short glimpse of the moon around 8:30.

Nine members and one visitor were in attendance.  Bob T. Gave a talk on his 10-inch mirror-grinding project follwed by Tom R.'s talk about the end of the epsilon Aurigae eclipse.  It was clear so observing followed.  The college's C11 was in use (Dr. Bloomer was collecting data for student projects) so we looked through the members' telescopes.
