From Greenwich, CT Joe Wesney reports that great teachable moments were prompted by John Trasco 's finder charts for Comet Hyakutake last Spring. He presented both a workshop and a series of Comet Parties. Joe also presented a 30-hr astronomy workshop at Wesleyan University. Every participant received a copy of Universe at Your Fingertips resource notebook. Joe hopes to repeat the course next summer at a different location.
