It looks the the film about John Dobson will be a one day only showing. On October 8th (Saturday), Facets cinematheque, located at 1517 W. Fullerton, show show the film "A Sidewalk Astronomer."

The film shows at 12:30 and 2:15 on the 8th.

Tickets are $5-$9 (I am not sure what accounts for the difference)

We can get them in advance on line at their website:

I don't know how big the theater is though.

Linda,

Thanks for the info on the movie. We need to organise ourselves in one mass group viewing of the Chicago Astronomers. Either time is good for me, perhaps we should focus on the earlier time and assemble then?

Then we can grab a late lunch together.

Hmmm.... Don't forget, Oct 8th is also the Woodstock star party so I'd suggest catching the early show, grabbing lunch and heading out here before dark.


Also, I thought I saw a Dobson documentary for sales in some magazine recently. I wonder if it's the same one.

Sorry I couldn't reply sooner. Yes, I think we should try to organize around the earlier showing. We could post something and then plan to meet up. Do you think the theater might sell out? Is that a crazy question to ask?

Also, Al, I am betting the ad you saw was for the same Movie. The is a website for the movie (http://telescopepictures.com/) and you can purchase a DVD there.
