the only reason they were bringing them was for me to show them the sky - they don't have a clue.

I know what you mean Glen. I've done my share of public sky nights and have had people turn up with their scopes so I could show them not only the sky, but how to set their scopes up so they can use them. And I'm not talking about newbies, but people who have had scopes tucked away in their cupboards, often for years. I don't mind as long as it doesn't take too long and keep me away from the main purpose of the night, but I do find it sad that they haven't been able to find out how use their scopes before this.
And 99% of the time they are those shonky little EQ1s.
Those things should be banned.
