Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
The outdoor library session focused on easily visible objects due to the high level of lighting in the library parking lot. Jupiter, with one moon casting its shadow, Orion and the Orion nebula were viewed through a Dob and were a hit. The audience was made of children and adults. The presenter showed participants some images he had taken and then showed them the object through his telescope.
