An Evening at Beautiful ELsong Gardens at Biedenharn

Amateur astronomers from OVAL, Delta Community College, the University of Louisiana at Monroe, and Louisiana Tech University dazzled over 220 participants in Biedenharn's monthly stroll-under-the-full-moon in ELsong Gardens.  Folks from all ages enjoyed spectacular views of Jupiter under a full-moon with lush garden plants as a backdrop.  Click HERE for photographs.
