Moonrise on the Seekonk
November 16, 2024

One of the more anticipated programs, Jim Hendrickson, Michael Corvese, Terry Turner and Francine Jackson set up on the banks of the Seekonk River Saturday, November 16 for this annual event. With the Moon rising about 4:45, the telescopes were waiting, while the band played mood - or Moon – music.
Also waiting for the Moon was Greg Gerritt, founder of Moshassuck Critters, who came to video the event; also, several others set up cameras on tripods, waiting.
The Moon was a little late, as thick clouds were blocking the horizon, but, when the Mon rose above them, the sight was met with a lot of people amazed at how beautiful it was.
In addition, Mike aimed his telescope at Saturn, which, as ever, was a fan favorite.
We did have several guests come more than one time to look through the telescopes, but it was believed at least 60 people enjoyed the program.
Everyone, both participants and the public, was thrilled to be at this annual event, and all were promising to return next year.
