[Chaos-l] Jordan Lake Report

[Jayme Hanzak]

Well there was yet another good crowd at Jordan lake. With just a handful of telescopes the folks who 
showed up got a nice view of the Moon, Saturn, M13 and M57. Alberio was also a nice target. 
  
Although the seeing wasn't great by any stretch of the imagination, the views were descent enough. There are 
always one or two folks who make the night worth while. One little girl about 5 years old, came back to my 
telescope to look at Saturn. Her first trip up my ladder was slow and cautious, but when she saw the moon, 
the fire was started. When she came back for her second trip, she marched up the ladder like a true astronomer 
and enjoyed her view of the planet. 

Her parents said that she had enjoyed the event more than her older sisters. 
  
Clear Skies,
