[ATMoB-discuss] WHS Astro Club

[Gary Jacobson]

George,

In general it is OK for your group to visit the clubhouse. For a group of this
size, prior notice is a good thing. Most folks, if they are not working on
specific projects, are willing to give a look to visitors.
There will also be a star party this Saturday night at the Chelmsford soccer
field. There will be numerous scopes there specifically for public viewing. If
you like, your group is welcome there as well.

|Some kids at my local High School decided to 
|start an Astronomy club.  How cool is that!!!
|
|They invited me to the first meeting and I thought it 
|would be nice to show up at the clubhouse some 
|Saturday night (about 6 High School kids) where 
|we can corner them and twist their arms into joining 
|(kidding - no pressure).  But I have only been there 
|once in the past 2 years (used to go all the time).  
|It's supposed to rain this Saturday but likely clear 
|up nicely by 8pm (or not!).
|
|1) Is this an okay thing to do as far as the club is 
|concerned (show up with 6 nerdy coed 
|non-atmob-member high schoolers and 2 science 
|teachers)?
|
|2) Is any Saturday night going to likely have people 
|there with scopes who are willing to show us stuff 
|or should I check first - and how often is the 
|club-telescope opened up?  I think we would skip 
|a full moon night but this Saturday it sets around 
|8:30pm so that might be ideal.
|
|3) I seem to remember the club has loaners.  A couple 
|kids already have scopes but if one or two join atmob 
|can they borrow 'scopes from the club?
