The Astronomical Society of Harrisburg held its final public observing session of the year at the Naylor Observatory on Sunday night. 
 

https://www.astrohbg.org/

The weather cooperated and we got a huge turnout.
 

Using the Naylor Observatory's 17" f/15 classical Cassegrain, another ASH member and I showed some of the many visitors the 44.4%-illuminated Moon and Saturn.  A bit later, after the crowd had mostly dispersed, I put Jupiter, Uranus, Albireo, and M57 into view.
 

Other telescopes in operation included the club's two 14" f/10 Meade SCTs, a 12.5" f/6 Cave Astrola Newtonian, and a 10" f/7 Cave Astrola Newtonian.  An imaging telescope displayed M13 and M27 on a computer monitor. 
 

The following are some of the iPhone photos that I took prior to the start of the event and shortly thereafter.
