Sanborn School Star Party with NSAAC

Last night I made it to the NSAAC much-rescheduled star party at the Sanborn school in Andover, Mass. There were about 100 kids and parents, and seven scopes. I set up binoculars on a tripod so folks waiting in line for my scope could see the Pleiades, then showed them the double double in Lyra. Seeing was not very good, the individual doubles were just "barely" visible in the C8. Maybe it needs collimation, however star tests looked good. Quite a few of the kids could split the second doubles (young eyes!) and once in a while a parent could see it when the seeing steadied for a second. I think most folks were amazed that a star could be a double, much less a double double - I still am too!
