I want to show kids and ambivilent adults the joys of sky watching but I want enough quality to pique their interest. I already have an aresnal of of TV EP's. I don't want to risk my TV's & TMB's. I have an opportunity to show off my telescopes to the crowd in October and don't want to dissapoint anyone. Suggestions, ideas, comments, superstitions and anathemas are encouraged...
