Hi everyone!
I wanted to thank everyone who attended the Friday May 26 sidewalk astronomy session at Chapters! ?It was a VERY successful event with 9 scopes. ?We estimated about 400 visitors came by ¡ª it was such a very busy and fun evening!!! The evening was affected by varying amounts of cloud cover, but enough clearings occurred to allow sharp views of the Moon and Venus. ?The sky improved as the evening went on. ?For most of the time, there was a constant flow of visitors, from young kids to elderly, and many asked great questions. ?It was really nice to be out, and great to see that there is still a lot of interest in astronomy. By the time we finished and packed up, it was well past 11pm. ?Denis Legault still had a few late visitors to take a peek in his 14 inch Dob! Thanks to: ?Ivo Leupi, Denis Legault, Gordon Dewis, Michel Godbout, Bojan Broz, Jim Sofia and Michael Wolfson. ?Apologies if I missed anyone else! Here's some photos I took of the action (links on this group's Photos section and Facebook): /g/oaog/album?id=287345 Hoping we can do this again soon! : ) Clear skies, and hope to see you tonight! - Pierre |
