This is the moon from Bayfront, through the clouds and shot by pointing my point-and-shoot camera through the eyepiece of my 80mm scope. Despite the clouds the visitors seemed to really enjoy the views!

A fine assortment of HAA members and their scopes, ready to host the public.

KerryLH Update:

Daytime solar and lunar observing at the Nature Centre (Hamilton beach). It was a perfect day with many curious people passing by.
Many still enjoyed the view of the sun even with no sunspots. The waxing cresent moon had some interesting features.

Evening session:
Excellent turnout of people looking at Mars, Saturn and the moon.

All scopes pointed at the moon
