When my son was in Cub Scouts many moons ago, I used to get 10 or so members of the local astronomy club to set up positions with their equipment during one of the monthly cub meetings. It was always a hoot.

They bring me back every year in the spring for a campfire explanation of the mythology of the constellations. Nearly every time I go to Krogers for groceries, I'll bump into some young man who initiates an astronomy conversation. It's just terrific.

I used to do that too. One woman kept leaving the eye piece and looking at the opening of the scope. She expected to find a photo pasted there. lol I have an 8” equatorial with a clock drive and we were looking at the gap between Saturn’s rings and the planet itself.
