[Chaos-l] Cornwallis Hills public session report

[Jon]

Hi all.  I'm growing rather discouraged with both the Clear Sky Clock 
and the Weather Underground: neither of them seem to be able to handle 
the local Carolina August observing weather.

It was anything but clear tonight.  In spite of that, Peter, Margareta, 
and i set up scopes and hosted a fair crowd of folks.  Observing 
targets were Jupiter, the moon, assorted multiple stars, and M13.  
Between the humidity and the streetlight, not much else _was_ 
observable.

Despite that i had a pretty good time showing people stuff, talking 
about what a meteor show is and why we're having one tonight, and so 
on.  Several people brought newly-purchased scopes to set up, and i was 
able to help a couple of them with adjustments, finder alignment and so 
on.

As an observing session it was a washout, but for a public event it 
wasn't bad.  Thanks to Peter for bringing another scope and helping out.

J.
