Thanks for that Suzy, watching the first bit of that brings back fond memories from long ago at Queensland Astrofest in 1995 when John Dobson spent time with us there.
John signed the mirror box of my 12" Dob, which has since been sold to Pat Pearl who re-painted the box white, but was careful to keep the signature untouched. That scope lives at Leyburn now.
It also reminded me of the times that Peter Marples and I spent between 1994 and 1996 busking at the Cavill Avenue mall in Surfer's Paradise doing exactly the same thing as John Dobson..showing the moon and planets to passing tourists through our 12" and 14" Dobs....fantastic times.
I'd love to download the video separately to Youtube, does anyone know if that's possible?
