I was there on the night (Parramatta Park).
After setting up scope, it began to rain and we all had to get out plastic sheets and tarps to cover equipment. Unfortunately, the weather was not very kind to us, with only a few small and very brief openings in the clouds throughout the evening.
Considering the weather, there were still visitors who attended the talks and were keen to see something- the odd Moon crater view or a brief look at Saturn. There were many questions about scopes and a few interesting conversations about the origin of life on Earth and the Universe itself.
Volunteers made the best of poor conditions (we're used to it), with club members engaging in good humour and talking about life in general.
There was some talk of perhaps holding another night around June sometime as there were many disappointed kids on the night.
Regards, Rob.
