Funny, our club's helping the local cub-scout group out next Wednesday for their Astronomy badges. List looks sound to me (for telescope). Don't forget naked-eye views of Milky Way & LMC, easy to miss the forest for the trees, LOL!

The group apparently needs to see 2 planets (Venus is also an option early on), identify the Southern Cross, spot a satellite (no ISS passes on the night though) and a few other things. There will be various activities undertaken by the Leader, incl finding south with the SC, simulating an eclipse, etc etc.

Cheers -
