Your right about the 'Lost Interest' factor Dave. It seems common.
I keep my boys interested by letting them use my dob by themselves now and they find things on their own. That's got them hooked. Their friends at school aren't very interested and my friends enjoy a quick look then that has done them for the year!
I found that if I let someone find something by themself they take the bait a bit better.
As far as my 4 legged friends, I have to lock them inside when we are viewing. They are both black and I got fed up tripping over them. Spilled many coffees because of them!
I also find that people are more likely to keep looking when I don't use scientific terms and not go on about the mathematics of it all. If I use a simple "WOW" or "ooooh, that looks good" they want to tear me away and have a look themselves. Very easy to bore people with facts and figures. A picture tells a thousands words.
