Second astronomy night was held last night - great roll-up of about 40 people and we had the queues working well. Jupiter was of course the highlight and lots of oohs and aahhs as people got their first ever views of the banded gas giant and its moons. One lady commented that it didn't look real - how could that bright 'star' resolve into that by pointing a tube at it?! Deep sky was a little marred by some high level murk which caused less than optimal views but nonetheless we managed to show a few of the highlights.
We also did a laser-light tour of the naked-eye sky, pointing out the Milky Way, Magellanic Clouds, etc etc. After the show wound up and nearly all people had left, had a short crystal-clear break in the vicinity of brightening comet C/2012 F6 Lemmon and managed to show it to a couple of the die-hards who remained. They were pretty excited even though it was only a little smudge.
Next week with a bright gibbous moon in the sky I might take up a webcam and laptop to do live views of the Moon & Jupiter. I don't think night vision will be a huge issue and we'll still have the telescopes there for eyepiece views!
Cheers -
