Terri, Frank showed the moon and Pleideas to kids in his small refractor. I showed a close up of the craters of the moon, venus, jupiter, mars, and saturn. I invited about dozen friends and relatives to come, but them called them off two hours before the event because of the bad clouds. However, one of my friends, Jerry Cochran, still came with his wife, daughter, son in law, and grandaughter. They all had a great time seeing the above objects, plus Orion Nebula in Eric's scope, and seeing the meteorites. The granddaugher loved what Terri was doing and the prize she won (a small red light). It was a rough night, however, since most of the time the clouds made for poor seeing, but once in a while an object looked pretty good.
