The event here in Canberra drew a crowd of about 6000 people to the Aust Nat Uni Oval. though most people were toting the ABC scopes, there were 'proper' scopes from my little FOA60 to a 20" F5 Dobsonian.
I estimate that at least 500 people took a look at the Moon and Jupiter through the big Dob, a sizeable number even took a look through the FOA and seemed to me that every other scope had at least a dozen people lined up to take a peek.
On the stage we had Brian Schmidt, Brad Tucker, Celine d'Orgeville, Charley Lineweaver et al.....
An event well worth attending....
Sure some of the show was more aimed the LCD but still very enjoyable....
