We were asked to train the CE Summer Camp counselors on astronomy. 6 counselors attended the session at the Jon Wood Field with Chapter members Frank Garner and Theo Ramakers. We started off with observing the close conjunction of Mercury, Venus and Jupitor together with the Hendersons, followed with explanations and observing of some of the night sky objects one can see at this time of the year. Here an image of the Close Conjunction of the planets.
