March 31 Grimsby Public Stargazing Event

Our public event in Grimsby last Saturday coincided with Earth Hour and the manager of Grimsby's Welcome Centre turned the building's lights off. This made it easier to show the night sky to the hundreds of people who showed up. Many HAA members also attended. (At least two dozen by my count!) So there were many telescopes and binoculars available to offer views of Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Saturn, the Moon, various double stars and Messier objects. I have included a few photos and hope that others add to this entry.
