Terri, I would like for us to discuss the actual execution of the star parties: - Attending scopes identify assigned objects at the start to ensure no doubling up of objects. - Those with higher powered scopes should be selecting more difficult objects to see (11 inch scope showing Orion nebula or a naked eye object?) -Arrival of EVERYONE by the assigned time - When helpers accompany the star tours member, establish guidelines for behavior of the helpers Thanks ---- Terri <starstuff@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I hope to see all PAS Members at the Meeting of the Minds to start with.
