A few pics from New York Astronomical Leagues Convention

Here is a little U Tube peek into Deadly Moons at ALCON in Hofstra University New York
All the New York kids moons will be on exhibition in Birr Castle Science Center from September 18th until mid November . They will be along side moons from Irish and Russian children and astronomical sketches from amateurs all over the world.

Thanks Jeff, I am trying to get my head in gear to make it happen with bells and whistles

I will post a few more pics in a mo.
