Another wonderful Virtual Star Party, this time with 5 astronomers broadcasting their view of the night sky live. We had amazing views of Jupiter, the Moon, and several deep sky objects, including the Orion Nebula, the Pleiades, M33, the Rosette Nebula, Andromeda, the Cave Nebula, and several others. Check out the really cool "37 star cluster", where the stars in the cluster actually write out the number 37.
This was also the first time were joined by Louis Mamakos, who delighted us with his dark sky views from Pennsylvania.
