My 1.09571 Bhutanese Ngultrum worth: First the most common thing I hear is when
I have Saturn in the eyepiece "OOH, It's painted on!", haven't gotten the F8n
kewl remark like Beevo, but Saturn never disappoints.
The other thing I like to do when I get a group around, is to tell them there
are "x" number of planets are visible to the naked eye that night and to name
them. Inevitably, the adults go through the ones they've seen and then start
naming Uranus, Neptune & Pluto. Then some kid comes along and says "EARTH!".
That's right, you're standing on it!. Almost always a kid. The adults them Face
palm. That's one of the reasons I enjoy the public events.

Subject: [AZ-Observing] Quotes from public viewing sessions
Howdy all;
I saw the post about the public viewing session coming up and thought it could
be fun coming up with some of our favorite quote from people looking through
our scopes.
I remember showing a gentleman the Moon in my Nexstar 11. He spent some time
at the eyepiece and then turned to me in ernest and said "it is in great need
of repair".
Clear skies;
Steve Coe
