We had a good turn out in Louisville, around 90, maybe more, people showed up. Great enthusiastic crowd, lots of kids who asked many questions. Unfortunately we were mostly clouded over for most of the eclipse. Just some glimpses of the lunar disk now and then until about 9. It did clear some after 9 so a few got a good view of the bright limb re-appearing. Mike showed them Saturn too. Special thanks to Glen Frank, Mike Hotka, and Shawn Curry for bringing there scopes out on such a marginal night. Great support from Julie Kovash and the Louisville Cultural Council who sponsored the event, coordinated with the City, made posters, and got the word out to everyone in their group -- they even brought hot chocolate and coffee for everyone!
