HELP WANTED: Observing night in Mildura
Hi guys
As you all may know how passionate I am about astronomy I even annoy my work colleagues
that much i never stop talking about it they all think I'm mad
but I have got them curious at what keeps me awake at night
Any way i have also created a bit of interest amongst some staff. Including my big boss at our head office in mildura he has offered me use of company vehicle and put me up for a motel for the night if I put on a stargazing night for the staff and their families
And now of course I agreed with excitement but now I have got a big big interest of between 20 to 30 people coming I'm starting to freak out a little arrrhhh help I'm scared now what if I go all shy on them lol
lol how can my johnny keep all these people entertained
At this stage so far I have printed out some star charts to pass around so we can do some star hopping and pick out the constellations etc with the laser pointer, and told them all to bring some binos a red torch and a blankly I'm hoping that will keep them busy while other people are looking through the scope ( do you think that's a good idea) I will have the 12" dob and the 6" newt set up also
Any other tips and ideas would be very helpful
If there is anyone in the mildura area that would love to come join me with their expertise and a couple more scopes that would be awsome
If interested let me know I will give you more details and you will be my best friend for ever
Oh and I forgot to mention it is this Friday
