Visit to the observatory

After ENWYC, several families went up to the Dr. Ralph L. Buice, Jr. Observatory.  We had a chance to see Saturn, the moon, and Algieba.

Algieba is a double star in the constellation Leo.  Algieba means the lion's mane. 

Steve Bieger was our guide for the evening.  Steve has a blog at http://ceastronomy.org/sbieger/.

Thanks Steve for guiding us through the sky.
