Through the telescope in the Gustav Bakos Observatory

The first Wednesday of every month is when Robbie gives a short lecture to amateur astronomy enthusiasts and then shows them some celestial bodies through the telescope in the Physics department obseravtory. Vishnu, Keerthi and Adarsh came along one day and we saw the close-up of the moon and also Saturn along with a few of its satellites. The ring was clearly visible. On another occasion we saw a Binary star system.
