Sidewalk astronomy

Hi all
Just got inside clouds mucked up the night
it was clear earlier so I went out and set up the 10in Dob.
And because its Easter there's a lot of people in the park where I live
So there's always people walking past , so I ask want a look ! , some say no thanks
(I don't get that ) others say yes .
It is surprising how many people have never looked through a telescope .
So I showed some people the usuals that I like.
The Jewel box , Tucana , Jupiter , Orion neb and a double in the pointers , can't think of the name ?.
Its good when they first see Tuc or even the Moon the ooo's and aaa's , wow !
It's a good feeling seeing others amazement
that's all I think

David
