If you head up to Lowell Obs, I'd like to hear your opinion of the talk they give inside the big Obs.
Hi jjjnettie,

I won't be able to comment on that as I will be doing a personal tour tomorrow, including the Anderson Mesa Research Station and the Discovery Telescope. I did some collaborative work for Lowell when I worked at Perth Observatory in the 90's, hence the personal tour.

But, I mentioned this today when I was up there and the comment was it depended on the presenter. It may be a case, IMO, that it is easier to explain, because they don't exactly conform to the general public's view of galaxies.

I will let you know how it goes when I do part 4 of my trip.

Cheers Peter
