The City of Kyle Public Library Astronomy Club sponsored a community outreach for International Observe the Moon Night, 1 October 2022. Half a dozen club members, six or eight friends from Next Door dot com, and another dozen passers-by were supported by six outreach experts from the Austin Astronomical Society. The star party ran from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Two of our guests were children with their parents and they left with planispheres, courtesy of the club. In addition to the waxing quarter Moon, stargazers viewed Jupiter, Saturn, Albireo, Messier 13 in Hercules, and other targets.
