Two very successful nights. It was my first nights of outreach in quite some time, as we've had a string of clouded out dates the past few months.
Probably 80 or so unique visitors in Pamela Park, with many coming back 3-5 times or more during the 2 1/2 hours I and my colleagues were set up there. Great views of the moon and Saturn.
Yesterday in Old Town Monrovia was also busier that I've seen it in a long time. At times, the line was 5-8 people deep, despite the presence of 5-7 telescopes during the course of the night. I'd estimate 140-160 unique visitors for the night.
This may be it for my sidewalk astronomy in southern California for a while. I'm leaving to take a temporary job out of state in a few weeks. However, of course, the Old Town Sidewalk Astronomers will still be at it, setting up monthly in Pasadena and Old Town Monrovia.
