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. -- "In this universe the night was falling,the shadows were lengthening towards an east that would not know another dawn. But elsewhere the stars were still young and the light of morning lingered: and along the path he once had followed, man would one day go again." Arthur C.
