Hiyoshidai Elementary School "Let's Enjoy Astronomy"　
Report on observation in the playground.
While we were in the gym, the sky was full of clouds but it cleared up just when we came out of the gym.
They enjoyed the planets, the moon, double stars, clusters and galaxies.

With the instruction of the staff, they learned the sky.	Father showing how to see?	Mother hiding her son's eye.

Watching Saturns?	Is it Venus setting in the west??	Cute pink telescope!

450mm aperture telescope on an equatorial mount showing Orion Nebula??		250mm dobsonian

178mm aperture refractor is one of the most popular telescopes here.		People were surprized to see the handmade telescope.

Waiting in the long line.
The smallest telescope today. Some are pointing to the star as checking the brochure.

Thin long telescope shows good image of planets.

Everything was new to them and chanted everybody there.

Why all in red??	Stepladder is useful.

After the observation, they gathered in the gym to say good-bye. They are still excited.
