Dark sky parties occur in the state park I grew up in


I'll always remember coming home from college (2013-ish) and one of these events were going on. The equipment these guys have is absolutely insane. A guy asked me, "What do you want to see?" I said Saturn because I've always been fascinated with it's rings. He goes to his computer, types some stuff, presses enter, and his telescope positions itself. He told me to look through it. There Saturn was, bright as day. It was awesome.
