Friday, Aug 1, Notchview Public night

A small but enthusiastic group attended the August public viewing at Notchview, just down the road from Arunah. With green laser, a 6" refractor, and a 13" Dob, visitors were treated to a tour of a beautiful and mostly clear summer sky. Jupiter, the Milky Way, and a pass of the ISS were highlights.

Thanks to Dan Carnevale for his dedication in setting up this public outreach at a wonderful location. Also thanks Tyler and Cathy Faits for both putting up with me and for sharing their knowledge of the night sky with the public.

Thanks much to one of the attendees who gave Arunah Hill a very generous donation to for Arunah Hill Days and our young rocketeers.
