On 04/18/06 i had to go to my daughters school and talk astronomy to 70 fifth graders. I took in posters. Pictures i took through my scope put on a cd and projected to a big screen. Also video through my scope. I took in my daughters 60mm refractor. And my C8N reflector. Also i had bought a meade 60mm reflector off ebay and a work mate gave me a 60mm traq scope and i had a drawing for these two scopes. One boy and one girl won. I talked for 50 minutes answered ?'s and had a really fun time. I've always been interrested in astronomy but never got into it until two years ago. I would love to do more of this with the kids and i'm going to as i can afford to. If anybody can help please do i want to give away more scopes if anybody has some old scopes sitting around to donate the kids would love them. They wont care how great they are as long as they could see the moon. I hope i'm making a difference in somebodys life. Any comments or suggestions welcome. Thanks Rick.
