We had 56+ people at the star party Saturday evening including 10 Nature Conservancy guests and 10 guests from the Santiago Canyon Astronomy course Hassi teaches. It was a mild evening and everyone seemed to have a great time.
We should have a good crowd Saturday night if the weather stays warm and the sky stays clear.
The new ASUS 1000HE is packed full of features for those who want a small easy to carry netbook for a fraction of the price of the Sony Vaio.
