In Saratoga, Christina and I also put on a Moon and planets show for the local kids. We had lots of appreciative lookers, with people commenting that our show the year before was the best part of Halloween. The skies here were lovely. The moon then Saturn and Jupiter were low but that didn't matter much at the low magnifications I had to use with my non-tracking 8" Orion dobs and Celestron 80mm. Definitely a lot more fun than adult parties or staying at home...
