(Wednesday, May 19)
Several club members are taking their telescopes to Hamilton’s McQueston Park to do some sidewalk astronomy tonight. We’ll probably arrive 8:30-9:00 and stay for a couple of hours. McQueston Park is on Upper Wentworth Street, just south of the Lincoln Alexander Parkway, on the east side of the street. Join us if you can.
Update:
There were 6 of us at McQueston Park tonight: Jim, Joe, Kevin & Ed, Me and Don. Together we showed the wonders of the Moon, Venus, Saturn, Mars and assorted stars to about a gazillion kids and their families. Many of them had never looked through a telescope before and there were far too many “Galileo Moments” to count! A very satisfying, but exhausting, evening for us.
