Pity you can't make it a twilight viewing.
They could see Saturn, the moon, Alpha Centauri and that big fuzzy ball of stars Omega Centauri.
These were all on the menu when my sister took her Kindy Kids to the Mapleton Observatory the other week.
She had a list of questions from the children that were answered before moving on to the scopes.
It was a pleasure to watch Paul (1Ponders) teach. I think that if you want some expert tips, give him a PM.
But the highlight for me was watching their faces light up as they had their first look through a telescope.
