Or sticky fingers on the eyepiece! Notice that the 14 isn't getting set up! If your showing Jupiter and want a quick hand out to give them or if you can print the image and then put it in the sheet protector for people to look at while they view, it shows the bands and other items on Jupiter. Here is the link. http://www.mvas-ny.org/images/JupiterCloud.jpg I often find the parents like to look as much as the kids.

Because of the weather last year, I wasn't able to set up my 10 inch dob and show kids the moon and/or Jupiter. This year the weather looks good so it is time for a little neighborhood outreach and come views of the waxing crescent moon on the terminator and Jupiter if it is up high enough. Anyone else going to do this? Besides the 10 inch dob I'll have a late 1960's Tasco Spotting Scope that zooms that is an excellent lunar observing scope. Anyway, just curious.
