Glad you enjoyed yourself John. It can be quite exhilarating and exhausting at the same time. You are constantly attending to the scope, especially if it isn't driven, while answering a million and one questions. At least then the time passes quickly. I've been to a couple of poorly advertised nights where you stand around looking at your watch.
I know what you mean about eps and I also have some non-premium eps for such occasions. You also have to be aware of grabbers, who are an inconvenience on a dob but a real hazard on a tracking mount. A small set of steps is really useful for getting kids to the ep and if it has a hand rail they are less inclined to use the scope for support. So, who organised the night? They deserve credit for getting that sort of turn out.
