The clouds parted, the wind died down (somewhat), and we had our first public observation of the fall. FAS along with 150 stargazers came out for a great night of astronomical viewing. The Moon stayed well hidden, so we were treated to some nice dark skies. We also got a nice view of what looked like a group of Starlink satellites deploying across the sky. If you missed this one, we’ll be back at Pilot Mountain on Friday, December 4 from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
Several FAS members brought out their Dobsonian telescopes and took folks through a tour of a variety of celestial objects. A few also did some imaging of several distant deep-sky objects.
