Last night I drove about an hour west to a young women's camp experience that my church organizes. A large group of campers and I talked for a bit about planetary orbits, and the planets' current locations, and then hit the telescopes. It was cloudy for part of the time, and this discouraged some, but those who stayed were rewarded with some nice views of Saturn and Jupiter through the XT8. Others watched the moon, which was full tonight, through the 100 f/6. My amazing daughters helped others look through the scopes.
After the young women left for their tents, a storm approached. It was never closer than about 20 miles, I think, but it looked ominous and for a while generated lightning about once every three seconds.
