USAFA Star Party 2/5/10

USAFA020510
Amateur Astronomer Volunteers

CSAS volunteers helped USAFA put on an educational event for the Academy Charter School in Castle Rock, CO. The students (approx 70) and teachers were divided into several groups and participated in educational activities inside USAFA’s Observatory, toured the Observatory, and when the clouds permitted looked through our telescopes to view planets, nebulae, binary stars, and galaxies! You can see by the picture we know how to stay warm when observing in Colorado! We enjoyed sharing our love of the stars with the students, and we appreciate USAFA allowing us to participate in this event!
