19 kids? I had way more than that. I was too busy to get enough pictures. It was a great night ! Not "The best Halloween ever" but a very good night. Started with a little solar observing, followed by early lunar observing and the small kids. All night long I was having people wait for a break in the clouds. We never waited more than a few minutes. If I had been two miles further south I don't think we would have ever been interrupted. Never did see Jupiter. I could see it through the trees but too many clouds once it got high enough. You can check it out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErlUENy4qfk Good Night all.

I ended up with 19 kids and some 10-15 adults. That is a record for recent years. It was very mild outside.
After being clear all day, clouds moved in late. Just as I was finished setting up, and had 7 kids here, the Moon ducked behind the first thick clouds.
Later arrivals were treated to a nice 64X view.

Acting like your nephew I'd be afraid to be shot. In fact, years ago I was shot at acting like that. There's nothing to get your attention like the sound of a shotgun blast as the pellets whoosh over your head - unless it's the awful sound they make when they make contact. No experience there, thank my lucky stars.

Ahhh, Steve, a Halloweenie, didn't think it was possible - not you. My niece's house could be your neighbors. They decorate, have a talking pumpkin. It gets hysterical, you have older kids singing "I'm a little teapot ..." just to get candy. Cars bring a load of kids just to this house, then drive off. Its in the Glendale area, so a wide cross-section of nationalities. Jason and Freddie Kruger are there, in person. Jason is my nephew. He is just a mannequin until Halloween night and then he comes alive. Trolling up and down the driveway with his machete in hand.
I go there cause my neighborhood doesn't have a lot of kids either. When I first moved in, I did it one year and got about 20, but for years after I was the "telescope lady."

We need a name for a "Scrooge" at Halloween. Maybe "Halloweenie."

Count your blessings!!!!! The neighbors across the street (we call them the Griswalds) go all out at Halloween. Spook alley in the back yard, thousands of dollars spent on decorations, and they give out great candy. Over the years this has brought thousands of screaming kids, their teenage brothers and sisters and parents racing up and down the street till at least 11:00 P.M. We hate Halloween. Steve
