Astronomy Day 4-25-15



Cloud cover started off the day at the museum. Then by early afternoon the clouds broke up enough that we brought our equipment out front for some solar viewing for the public. All in all it turned out to be not a total loss. Just a guess that 20+ people were able to get some views through the scopes.
