I've fallen back in love. I've been to a couple of events now - last Friday night was mostly focused on the moon. Of course, I forgot my computer so it was visual only but we had a lot of fun. Moon, Mars, Saturn. Might have caught Neptune but not 100%. My Saturn made one woman weep. Seriously. M-13 made a lot of people's jaw drop. They didn't know such things existed.
You guys know how it is.
Had quite the line. If I had the video setup going, they could all have seen everything together.

Good stuff Rick.
It's a good feeling seeing the public affected by the views, and being able to show them.

Two events in a row I've gotten the question of if we can see what's left behind on the moon. I think one person was asking from a conspiracy standpoint. A woman at Friday's event was hoping she could see the flag thru my scope!

I'm not so sure about that Ken... at least in the USA.
I dont know if this still goes on but I remember on NSN back in the day that people were recording broadcasts of the moon and then inserting space ships flying out of the craters!

When I get home, if I can find a video on YouTube, I'll post it.
