Adler After Dark Activities
17 December 2009
17 December 2009
Members of the Adler telescope crew assembled for this session of "Adler After Dark". Although it was a cloudy evening, we still set up two telescopes and showed the visitors the great Chicago skyline.
Working this evening: Fred, Ninos (working meteors), myself, Steve, Steve again, and Joe from the Chicago Astronomical Society.
Making my rounds and meeting friends during the evening:
Twilia and Joe....
Chicago Astronomer Member Rhea and Joe...
Joel in security and Joe...
Carmen working meteoritic impacts and a sneak rod shot...
Melvin in security, Steve and Joe...
And Jennifer from W.X.R.T radio - adding to the festivities of the night...
I brought along my newly acquired 15x70mm to get opinions on performance. The crew thought the pair good...
...although Steve thought that they were slightly mis-collimated...
...(We think perhaps Steve bumped his head...shhh).
There was time for a Chicago Astronomer cookie break...
And with that, another Adler After Dark is behind us.
