Animation for children and the heavens tonight

Hello,
Yesterday, I went south of Brussels to entertain children (in a kindergarten) and their parents. I was a little nervous about how it would happen and thanks to a videoprojector (becoming more and more indispensable) and Starry Night, I could show them the heavens of that evening.
2 other friends also had the same kind of animation to do and the sky cleared and we showed the Moon and Saturn very close together, with telescopes. I came back after MRO got into Mars orbit. I was a little surprized to realize even the parents were not alive when the Moonlandings took place (we're growing old:(...

Tonight, from the garden, the Moon is there (with crater Gassendi) as well as Orion!
Orion was taken with the Sony DSC-V1 , parallel mounted to the ETX90, 100 ASA, 30 seconds exposure.
