These will be year 7's.

Prepare for the inevitable telescope mutilations by hand, a lot of kids i have had looking through the scope, especially the dobs, they grab the eyepiece to look through it and knock the scope off target....so if you have a motorised mount just be careful they dont swing off it! hehe

PS....Dont pass out the laser pointer if you have one!
