Lunar Eclipse - public event turnouts

Hey all

How did your own events turn out? What sort of club & public numbers attended?

Before our club President, John, gets to post the results for us, I will.....

The Macarthur Astronomical Society had just over 250 members of the public turn up to the domes at the University of Western Sydney to see 18 of our members and through 24 of their telescopes. There were binoculars and dozens of cameras too.

Everyone had a great time. The weather was letter-perfect (no cloud, no dew and nice & warm).

There was a write-up about our event in the Daily Telegraph on page 3.

Thanks to all who attended - I had a ball as did everyone else.

Cheers
Chris
