Ambitious sidewalk astronomer sets up Kickstarter campaign to fund nationwide sidewalk astronomy tour.
Long-time sidewalk astronomer, Jay Horowitz, has a plan to set up telescopes on A LOT of street corners. He wants to share telescope views of the skies with people all over the US. But he needs a little help to make his plan come to fruition.
...
[He's] looking to raise money for a Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, a solar telescope, and fuel for transporting the telescopes between locations. He and his group will provide free views of the skies in schools, libraries, and on city streets all over the United States.
The gauntlet is dropped, Paulie!
