Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
We provided a small tabletop Newtonian telescope for the students to locate and observe with along with a Seestar telescope taking images in real time. We explained why we can't see the flag on the moon with an Earth based telescope. We did have high thin cloud cover that only the brighter stars could be seen naked eye. We did have a chance to see M42 visually and through an image. The ladies really liked the HST Lithographs.
