On January 9, 2023, the South Plains Astronomy Club held our first First Friday Art Trail (FFAT) and we had a steady stream of visitors. We made many new friends, both young and old and it was a joy to share the view of the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars through our telescopes. Despite the bright streetlights, the crowd was enthusiastic and smiling!
Before the star party got into full swing, a few of us took quick snapshots of the event.
