Public Night at the Observatory

We had company for dinner on Friday, and they left just in time for us to make it to the observatory:





When we got there, we were told it was too cloudy to see most of the time and that locals should come back on a clear night. After watching person after person climb the ladder to the scope and report seeing only black, the kids wanted to go home, but Kevin and I wanted to at least look at the scope, since we had already driven all the way up there. Abby climbed up and saw nothing, so when Benji got up there and said "Oh! I see Saturn!," we thought he was joking. It turned out the clouds had broken just as he got up there and all 4 of us got to see Saturn before the cloud cover returned:
