OPT TELESCOPE DEMO & STAR PARTY Last updated: 20 November 2007

I attended the 10 and 17 November OPT Winter Telescope Demonstration & Star Party events and did some demoes of the Meade mySKY, did some ETX training, demo-ed the mySKY, and generally talked telescopes and astronomy with many attendees.

Here are some photos I took.

Meade technicians were cleaning optics. Here are a couple of ETX telescopes being worked on:

While the weather didn't always cooperate (lots of fog) I think the visitors and buyers had a super time at OPT. I certainly enjoyed it.
