Default Wheelchair

Last night while up at the corner, I had just a very few people stop, but one
lady and her son made it all worthwhile. She was in a wheelchair and I'm glad I
designed my Babylon 8 so the OTA could rotate in it's holder, as I was able to
bring the eyepice down so she could view the moon and then Saturn a few mons
later.

It's good when things come together right for once, a nice almost full moon,
clear skys, no wind, ( it was already down to 38F so she couldn't stay long),
and a scope that could be adjusted to help her see while objects where still low
in the sky.

That was a great time.

That was a great time.

Best wishes to all..
