I'm finally getting around to watching the special about John Dobson that aired on PBS recently. So now I've got this weird thought: Is there any interest in a few of us setting up a few scopes on some downtown SLC street corner some evening soon when the Moon is out? No advance PR. Not sponsored by any club. Very John Dobson like. Just to see how the public responds. Thoughts from the group? patrick
