Boardwalk Astronomy

 

The Back Bay Amateur Astronomers (BBAA) in Virginia Beach, Virginia held our first of 2025 annual Boardwalk Astronomy yesterday afternoon and evening. I had a list of double stars to show tourists and locals alike but never had time to move the telescope away from the moon. Besides, we had numerous telescopes showing everything from the sun to Jupiter, a globular cluster and even a galaxy. It was challenging seeing the globular or the galaxy due to severe light pollution, but people were overwhelmed at everything else they saw.
