Steve Bellavia and David Barnett did a great program on Astronomy at the Custer Observatory for Camp Quinnepet. Dave B. presented a Power Point with many of the images he photographed himself of the night sky with his camera and a telescope. Steve Bellavia also presented a Power Point on the history of Custer, how a telescope works and the variety of telescopes that can be used for stargazing. After the presentation the students got to go outside to look at a giant pair of binoculars and up to the dome to see Custer's large 25 inch Obsession Telescope.
