Astronomy Day 2010
Although the weather was far from ideal, as many as 50 people did venture down to the Myrick Hixon Eco Park to take part in the in-door Astronomy Day activities the club put on.
Highlights were Paul Kinzer's large inflatable planetarium shows, Night Sky Network demonstrations put on by Bruce Klubertanz, and talks by Gordon Stewart. Members also brought their telescopes of various sizes and models.
