HTS Space Camp 2010 is history!

The Charlie Elliott Chapter of the AAc was fortunate again to participate in Hightower Trail’s Space Camp. This was the 6th Space Camp for the school. The forecast was clear, so we did not participate with the inside activities, but setup 4 telescopes on the playground and let the students experience the views of Saturn with its moon Dione, M42, some double stars, and the moon. We discussed some constelations. Because the clouds kept moving in and out, only a few studens got to see the galaxy M65. But the students loved what they saw and a very rewarding evening for our participating members. :-) Click here for some pictures of the event. HTS is teaming up with NASA for some real exciting activities. Click here for more details.
