The RIT Observatory has hosted several special events for local Girl Scouts recently:
Our latest overnight camp took place on March 29, 2008, when we finally had both clear skies and relatively warm temperatures. All 40 scouts, and their leaders, had a chance to see the stars (and Saturn)!
You can look at our schedule for the night (and next morning).
We arranged the Scouts into four groups and rotated them through a set of four activities. If the pictures below aren't enough for you, peruse the complete album of pictures from the Astronomy Overnight.
Early the next morning, I put out the fixings for breakfast and made several pots of strong coffee. The scouts and their leaders gradually woke up, ate breakfast, and headed home.
