A cloudy afternoon gave way to mostly clear skies for a nice evening of public viewing at Notchview. About 20 people showed up for public viewing, including some very knowledgable middle schoolers from Dalton. They compared clusters (the wild duck, the great Hercules cluster, and the double cluster), and saw galaxies and marveled at the colorful double star Alberio, and they got a nice view of Jupiter.
Thanks to Dan Carevale for organizing this, and to Ray Burk, Ron Woodland, Jonathan Klinkowski and Barry Hervieux for setting up telescopes, and especially thanks to the Notchview staff for the hospitality... and the wifi!
