Stan, All,
For those of us that have done these events know exactly what they
entail. A group, usually corporate, wants to provide a unique
experience to their members and a couple telescopes on the patio just
outside/after dinner fits the bill. These events are paid and you have
to accept the limitations and requirements that entails.
The TAAA earns good money doing these things and we have a regular
program administered by John Kalas. I have set up a scope on patios and
lawns of most of the high end resorts here in Tucson. Imagine grabbing
a luggage cart and loading up a scope, while rolling it past the pool on
the way to a patio just outside a banquet hall, meanwhile hoping you
will have a view to the east and Saturn rising. Once we set up on the
tee line of a driving range of one of the best courses in Tucson,
actually a pretty good spot.
Thanks for eveyone's response! I have passed on the information.
