http://members.csolutions.net/fisherka/astronote/atm/sprlbx/MakeStarPartySig... This website contains construction plans for a light-tight box to display red-light signs at star parties. The signs are laser-printed transparencies. The box is designed to screw onto a standard camera tripod mount. Using such a sign, it is possible to set-up an informational sign in front of a telescope at a star party that displays the type of object currently in the telescope. The intent is to have several of these signs in a line of telescopes pointed at different types of objects. Using a handout describing the major celestial objects (e.g. - double stars, dark clouds, open clusters, globulars, planetary nebula, several types of galaxies), the public can browse a line of scopes for an orrey of objects. Attention was given to making the red-light box light-tight for white light. Generic transparencies are provided. This red-light box will be of interest to intermediate amateur astronomers and to astronomy clubs. - Canopus56 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
