Hi everyone.
I am hoping I can get some help from one or two IIS members that could bring their scopes to show 150 Kids the night sky on the Coast here in September.
Every Year I get involved with a Kids camp called G.A.T.S. ( Gifted and Talented Students ) camp.
The camp is near Summerland Point on the Northern end of the Central Coast. It usually start when it gets dark enough to see the stars and goes for about 2 hrs or so.
Basically we need about 2-3 scopes set up so the kids can split up and see a variety of opbjects through a few scopes.
My scope will be one....so 2 others would be great.
There is usually an Astrophysicist on site to give a talk for the kids also.
Its usually a rewarding night for those who enjoy showing others the night sky.
All we need to do is co-ordinate with Each other and the Astrophysicist as to what to show the kids. That way it will compliment the talk that is given.
If you are interested, please let me know via this thread, or pm me for my phone number.
Cheers
