It was a great turn out for members and the public. David and I lost count at around 200 people. There were a lot of groups and families who joined us for view from over 15 telescopes setup and 2 exhibit tables. The lines were long but the excitement was big to see the rings of Saturn edge on and the various features of the moon which were the main show along with star clusters and double stars because of the thin cloud cover that ruled the evening. The observatory finished off the evening with a small group and continued views invaded by clouds.
Thank you to everyone who shared views from their telescopes and helped HAL finish off another great year!
