Astronomy at the Beach, Night 1

The Maple Beach shelter
Despite heavy clouds, turnout was okay last night at Kensington - perhaps a few hundred people over the course of the night? Sadly, many people had gone home by the time the sky started clearing in earnest, but those still around past 10:30 got telescopic sky tours of the finest objects in the late summer sky. Below, some grainy cell-phone photos of the proceedings.



Dr. Mary Putnam of the University of Michigan was the keynote speaker.
