Boy Scouts visit to Seagrave, Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

Wednesday, March 25th @ 8:00 Boy Scouts visit to Seagrave The group was smaller than anticipated and was comprised of more parents and siblings than boy scouts. They stayed until after 9:30 and were well dispersed since we had so many viewing stations open. We again had the binocular table setup along with the M42 flyby video. John Kocur and Jim Hendrickson both had their scopes setup and Larry Isom had his but since we had as many scopes as people, he was better utilized for moral support at the different viewing stations. Nicole has also attended for moral support. I did a demonstration of the ETX80 and let everyone view Orion then let them compare it to the live CCD image. We used this to lead into why is doesn’t look like the photos in the eyepiece.
