It's a long ways there for almost all of us, being located in the easternmost part of Maine, but the skies are some of the best I've ever viewed under (SQM value 21.57.) There will be many guests at the camp ground this year to see the Persieds and join us for observing.

New England and despite a few spates of cloudy weather, it's been a busy spring

the quality events that happen in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
Beginning on my home turf in the spring, Acadia Astronomical Society hosted a
star party for students of the College of the Atlantic. Not long after
returning from NEAF, Southern Maine Astronomers provided a school outreach
event for the Greeley Middle School in Cumberland where I was able to try out a
newly acquired eyepiece. This was followed a couple weeks later, in May, by a
Downeast Amateur Astronomers outreach star party at the
Pembroke Elementary School.</font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family: Palatino;"><font size="3"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I joined with my own home club of Penobscot Valley Star

week later. Onward to a Central Maine Astronomical Society's star
Party at their Brower Observatory at the beginning of June. I had
recently joined an observing reporting group and did a sketch of a faint galaxy
in Draco while at that star party. With the sun setting ever later in
June, Downeast Amateur Astronomers turned to solar viewing and had great fun
showing large crowds views of the sun at the Margaretta Days Festival in
Machias. After returning home, the weather forecast was excellent
so I packed my scope into my car and headed up Cadillac Mountain for a
late night solo viewing session and sketching of this months object,
the Whirlpool Galaxy.</font></span><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Palatino;"> While waiting for it to get dark, views of several
