Rosamond Report

The day was a good one, no clouds at all, so I loaded up the car and by 5pm
I was set up on the corner and had Galactica set on the moon. Now friday
nights are slow ones, but I did get some viewers. First can two teens, they
enjoyed the moon. It was a bit of time before a lady with at lest 5 kids
came over and they all got to see the moon. The last ones to show up where
two kids, about 8 or 9 years old and they had a fast look at the moon.

I was waiting for Saturn and saw it coming up but it disappered, there was
high clouds moving over head, didn't bother the moon but it wiped out the
planets.

By after 8:30 things where getting on the dead side, so I came on home.

It was good being able to get back out.

Glad to hear it went so well. The star party I had Wednesday night for
several teachers was also fantastic. Now, when we bring out the ROTC
cadets and my AP Chem kids, the teachers will have a little handle on
what's happening.

My plan is to get as many of the kids to bring binoculars as possible,
start with a little time for orientation, then have four scopes set up
with a teacher at each. The students will rotate through each station
and get a chance to see different objects.

Should be a lot of fun.

Glad that we're getting some decent skies for a change.
