Looking at the Moon


This is a photograph taken at our club outreach program, called a "Moon Watch" at Old Westbury Gardens.  We had 5 amateur astronomers with telescopes showing about 50 people the Moon, and Jupiter, Saturn and Venus.  So many people were thrilled, looking through an astronomical telescope for the first time.  There were so many expressions of amazement at seeing the craters on the moon up close.  That's what makes doing these outreach sessions so rewarding.
