Met Risa, Bill, and Paul at the DDO. Risa was set up in the parking lot near her car. Aimed at Saturn. It was a decent sky.
I didn't feel like firing up the Questar. Lounged on my adjustable height chair.
I helped her a bit with her imaging and video run. Encouraged her to bump the mag with eyepiece projection and then the 2x Powermate. She asked if I was bored. Nope.
Saw the ISS flyover around 11:30. Risa actually spotted it first.
We enjoyed the Iridium flare at 12:07. Unfortunately, too far from Saturn to be captured. Bill and Paul shot photos from the north lawn with the dome in the background.
Bill shared that he was a little lost. Looking at the eastern sky, he didn't know the constellations. Risa and I helped him with a few.
Nobody wanted to go for a drink. Suddenly over.
