Avid amateur astronomer for a decade or so. Outreach is my favorite part of astronomy. Really. Can you imagine Evangelism as your favorite part of church? I can't.
The sky was mostly cloudy - just two stars were visible. Oh. That's Vega. The other one is Arcturus, i said. I must be an experienced amateur. But it wasn't long ago that i couldn't imagine being able to do this.
Yes.
Outreach. Oh, and observing. Oh, and the social aspects of the hobby. And, uhm, buying new toys is always fun. Tinkering together new stuff is fascinating. And, hey, it's the Universe. I live there.
"On a clear disk, one can seek forever."
Twice a month, the Warren club hosts a talk. If you didn't like this one, in two weeks there's another from a completely different corner of the Universe.

"i'm not aware of an older 4". The Starblast is a 4.5 inch. It often was shipped on an EQ1 - German EQ w/o motor or anything. I've used one, briefly."
"Hi suitti, mine is pretty old, just a vanilla 4" reflector on a german mount and tripod. No motor or electronics. Line up the mount and start turning knobs lol!"
"Welcome to the club. Is that the new SkyScanner 100 mm? The WAS just bought one for outreach purposes. I got to check it out - and i really like it.
Any questions, about anything in the Universe, feel free to ask. I can even talk about software."
