The foul weather this evening did not deter about 60 astronomy enthusiasts who enjoyed HALO tours by Chris T and Chris M, astro coloring with Krystal, and solar system modeling with Arjun. Eight members of the new astronomy club at Miller’s Grant retirement community in Ellicott City visited and are interested in returning on a clearer night.

We packed up and locked the park gates around 9:30 under fully cloudy and drizzly skies. Better luck next month. Mark your calendars for Saturday 7 June. Phil Whitebloom and David Stein will be hosting, and Ken Everhart will be driving the Illig scope.
