Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
The clouds chased us quite a bit but did cooperate for the Wing Academy elementary students that we invited. Unfortunately, 7 others were Google routed to the abandoned observatory building that isn't ours (ugh). We did not know that happened until one of them emailed us about it the next day. Wing elementary had 8 students and 5 adults. They brought two loaner telescopes from the A2 Library. The students were able to see Saturn, a comet, and globular cluster, plus other objects. Brian Ottum had an EAA scope with his laptop, projector, and screen to show live views, photos, and videos. Many lowbrows helped by sharing the night sky with them. Lowbrows attending: Jack Brisbin, Ken Cook, Don Fohey, Tim Miller, Brian Ottum, Adrian Bradley, Barry Wissman, Bill Paulson, Branden Roche, and Zoltan Jung.
