Title: 80+ visitors at Camino Real Marketplace, Telescope Tuesday 2/11/2014
Post by: TT (wasPW) on March 13, 2014, 03:42:46 PM

Thanks to ChuckM, MaxN, and MartinM for manning the extremely bright location and bringing a Rock from Space, Jupiter, the Moon, and club handouts to the many folks. A few thin clouds took away a bit of the sharpness, but the bright walkway lights made it tough to see even the Orion constellation. Maybe a shade can be made for the lights that keep the steps in the light, but block the light at eyepiece height of the telescopes? This will require a little calculation, design, and approval from the Marketplace, I think.
