We planned to do our first in-person public outreach event using telescope image projection on an external monitor and to a movie screen at club member and brewery owner David McLain's second Annual Space Night event. Unfortunately, cloudy skies prevented any opportunity to use telescopes. We did, however, set up the movie screen and as a backup plan projected planetary and DSO images captured on earlier dates. This is still a learning process for us, and we had to wait till relative darkness before images could be seen on the screen. Next time, a large monitor would help during daylight, before switching to the projector and screen at night.
