Hi Joe, No, I don't remember seeing it. But it has been two years since it ran and now that I'm old enough for the government to classify me as officially old I guess I am allowed to forget things from time to time. :) Impressive observatory. The high school I went to in Ohio had a nice observatory. But looking at the campus on Google Earth I see the observatory is no longer there.
