“Why We Observe the Night Sky”  by Ken Spencer
This is a slideshow and talk about what interesting things there are to see through our telescopes and cameras.  This talk was put together for a group of eighth graders and their parents to make up for a cancelled Moon watch at Friends Academy last month.  So this is for beginners in the club, and for the more experienced members, it ends up being a “Best Of Ken” show of astronomical photographs I have done over the years..
