Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
Our final Boardwalk Astronomy event had lower turnout than many, due to the end of the tourist season. Regardless, views improved steadily from mildly cloudy to shockingly clear by the time Saturn rose! Continuing our trend of greeting international visitors, we shared the lovely Moon and spectacular Saturn with visitors from London!
