This was our 7th annual outreach event for the Garden Club of Georgia. About 18 youngsters and 7 adults spend the evening on the Jon Wood Field to observe what all is “up” there. CEA was represented with 12 individuals using 9 telescopes. We started the evening off by visually observing and explaining what we could see. Then it went to the scopes. The conditions were not that good, but all were able to see Mars, Saturn, M57, M4, M13, Albereo and at the end even the Moon, although some had to look through some serious clouds to make out the craters. A great evening again and thanks to Jack Fitzmier, Dan Schmitt, Marie and Tim Lott, Frank and Shelby Garner with her friend, Valorie and David Whalen, Jim Lancaster and his wife, and myself for showing these kids “our Universe”
Clear Skies,
