In addition to his dobsonian telescope Dave Halupowski brought his binocular chair for the scouts to try.
Light clouds and a full moon did not dampen any Cub Scout enthusiasm during the Saturday night sky view. We were able to view Saturn before it set as well as a nice pass by the International Space Station. Even though the moon was full, the telescopes were set to view craters on the limb where shadows gave a little hint of the moons terrain. The scout leaders had several additional activities planned that kept everyone busy until we wrapped up just shy of 10 P.M.
