Mark, Gerry K., and I manned the TAAS table, Mark¡¯s 60 mm refractor, my Seestar 50, and Gerry¡¯s Lund 80 mm solar scope tonight from 5-7 pm at CKMS.
According to CKMS staff around 400 attendees came through the door.
Using the handy-dandy counter Jeff & Shoreline provided (from the Chester Fair last year) at least 170 hands (and fingerprints) landed on Mark¡¯s refractor and Gerry¡¯s Lund. A few wanted to ¡°look through¡± the Seestar but I held them off and pointed them to the image on the iPad of Gerry and/or Mark outside at the solar scope. ?
We handed out lots of Night Sky Network NASA stickers and other NSN swag. We had one woman say she was sending in her membership application as soon as she got home. Keep an eye out George!
