On June 10-12, 2015 Raleigh hosted the 43rd AMS Broadcast Meterology conference. Broadcasters from all over the country converged on the Civic Center for presentations and meetings. They also were treated to a sidewalk observation session from the Raleigh Astronomy Club. On Thursday, June 11, several members came out and set up on the sidewalk to provide views of celestial objects. Despite the city lights and storms in North Raleigh and Cary, the skies downtown were clear and seeing very, very steady. Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn provided some really great views not only to folks leaving the conference, but for many which came dowtown for the free concert on Fayetteville street. Thanks again to all the members who participated in this event.
