Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
Brief restart of the Chesapeake Planetarium by the now-retired planetarium director and friend of the BBAA. The event included a 1 hour planetarium show on "The Christmas Star" and a brief Q&A as the audience departed. Cloud cover precluded any observing.
