Observatory Visit

A few weeks ago we visited the Cawthron Atkinson Observatory (located at our school!) We were really unsure of we'd be able to see anything because of all the cloud cover. But right on time the clouds parted and we got a beautiful view of the moon. We could see heaps of craters on it. Planet Venus shone brightly for us and we could also see Saturn and Mercury.
