I gave my talk at the Western Sydney Amateur Astronomy Group (WSAAG) tonight. Overall went very well despite minor stumbles (and an inability to pull off a joke when nervous). The slides were again heavily revised over the last few days (read added lots of new content with pictures that clarified!). I think that effort paid off. Despite talking for over an hour I got a lot of questions, demonstrated correct adjustment of binoculars on request. I even got through my bonus section on collimation. Not saying there was no room to improve the delivery but given that I don't speak publicly very often I'm very happy with the result. I think I've achieved what I set out to do and I'm feeling very good about it all. Thanks to everyone here and elsewhere that provided constructive feedback. All the WSAAG members were very positive and constructive and forgiving of flaws also.
