It was another great AOW event at Randle High School on Tuesday night October 6th and science teacher Emerzen Echavez did another wonderful job organizing the event.
Emerzen’s organizational skills were matched by the enthusiasm of his students and we had a turn out of 55 students with some parents attending. That is an outstanding turn out for a high school event as high school student interests at the level become focused on different things.
FBAC volunteers attending with telescopes were:
- Sean Carey
- Todd Dunnavant
- Mac Hooton (assisted by his brother
Robin) - Hareesh Janakiraman
- Matt Poteau, and
- Harish Radhakrishnan
Our scheduled presenter was unable to attend so I gave my presentation
on telescope basics.
The skies did not cooperate but everyone had a great time despite the clouds. We did have a small clearing in the west and was able to observe the star Arcturus.
