Here's the link: http://www.kopernik.org/images/archive/history%20of%20100hrs%20at%20Kopernik.pdf ……or here: http://tinyurl.com/dxg2lb This is an 11 page long pdf file that includes text and a number of pictures of the event, both at Kopernik Observatory, the Broome County Library in Binghamton NY, and the Oakdale Mall in Johnson City NY. This was a tough weekend to run anything in the Binghamton area because of the tragic mass killing that happened at the same time. It was difficult to get anyone in the mood to go out to something like “100hrs”, especially since many other events in our area were canceled. Yet we did have a modest attendance at three different venues and it was well received by the public. We did get a lot of people looking thru telescopes for the first time in their lives. -------------------- George N Obsession 20 Optical Guidance Systems 10" F/9 R-C Cass 6" F/5 & 8" F/8 home-made Newts MI-250 mount SBIG STL-1301E CCD Member, International Dark-Sky Association Post Extras:       MoonChild sage Reged: 04/27/09 Posts: 280 Loc: upstate ny Re: Write-up on 100 Hours of Astronomy at Kopernik Obs [Re: George N]       #3156125 - 06/10/09 04:45 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   That's awesome George!
