Whad a great time at the Starparty held at the Homeland Frontiersman
site this last weekend. Unfortunately the James Zachary, who made all
the arrangements, was in the hospital and couldn't attend.

Cloudy skies opened up around midnight. We had good views of the moon,
Saturn, Jupiter, Orion Nebula, and a number of other objects.

There was a good turnout of club members and scopes. Craig did a great
job with an into to astronomy lecture for the members of the
Frontiersman group. Quite a few of them came by after dark to look
through the telescopes and ask questions.

Due to technical problems, the web site for the M.A.R.S. astronomy club
is not available.

We are trying to have the site moved to a new service provider. The
old provider is not releasing the domain name and the subscription has
expired. We are working on it.
