Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
The evening began with a brief discussion of the Moon, followed by Steve Bandel who provided a PowerPoint discussion on EAA and talked about the various tools available for public use. Tom Lynch then described the Library Telescope Program. Around 30 visitors dispersed to the boardwalk outside where AOS members had set up telescopes, and many were able to observe Jupiter before the clouds settled in.
