    Watson outreach summary:  Good turnout perhaps 6-7 members and 12-15 visitors.  Sky was clear but hey it’s the middle of Rochester, so the moon, bright stars, globulars and bright nebula were seen.  Possible new member Bob (a good name) with an awesome 5 inch refractor and hefty mount was there and Josef and Jeff got us all a view of Mercury.  John A bagged another Messier (56) a globular, and Mike C showed us a stacked view of the Eagle Nebula.  When I finally got polar aligned M3, M51, M81-82, M57 and M27 were stacked and viewed.
