Star Party for a Local Private School

On November 16, 2007, NWGAA members Hank Blackwood and Eric Smith hosted a star party for a 5th grade class at Christian Heritage School in Dalton, GA. Four scopes were setup, a Newtonian, two Meade LX200GPS, and a Meade ETX125. The venue was a semi-rural farm that allowed for fairly good skies. Students were shown various objects that represented the contents of most catalogues. Parents and students were wow'ed with what they saw and learned. The event lasted about two hours.
