I did a school group on Monday 23rd out near Ringwood and had a similar problem. We had 6 scopes and about 50 or so kids and adults. They were supposed to come onto the field around 7:30 but I was still waiting for it to get dark enough to see any alignment stars. Fortunately the lecture we were giving them in the hall got them out around 8:00 so I had enough time, just, to get a suitable alignment.
We have another tonight (Thursday) in Mordialloc with maybe 50 people. The problem this time of year is that all the "good stuff" is pretty low. I will have a look to pick out some bright stuff when everyone has seen what was set up first.
Next Monday we have one with more than 250!
