A good crowd showed up to view the stars on the final summer public night of the year.
Allison Hill gave a presentation in the lecture hall, while Matt Abado along with RASC members Bob Duff and Dale Armstrong operated three telescopes for star and planet viewing. The star viewing started out with observations of the first quarter moon on the 25cm refractor. The two smaller telescopes were pointed at various interesting objects, including the double star Albireo and the planet Neptune.
The fall and winter public programs at Cronyn Observatory will soon begin.
