Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
Liz came out to see us tonight. She had heard about the OKC astronomy club online… and had a task for us. Some kids she had taught, had a star named after her… and she wanted to know if we could find it for her. She had the RA and Declination numbers on her “certificate of ownership”… so we gave it a shot…this is as close as we could get. We let her take the picture herself, and air dropped it to her phone.
