$Al-Paslow > AT the May 12, 2007 Star Party a pair of refractor telescopes look at Venus. Gerry Schuster manned the 10 inch on Venus. A 4 inch vintage Edmund Refractor recently acquired from Paul F. Hueper of Herndon VA was used all evening to compare the views! This helped move the crowds at twice the speed!!!$

$Al-Paslow > another image of both refractors.$

Al-Paslow > Two telescopes prepare for a night of observing.

$Al-Paslow > The small refractor was a special hit with the kids!$

Al-Paslow > Here children observe Saturn and Titan Saturday night. The telescope was positioned just at a convenient height for them and the planet was easy to see. The 4 inch Edmund provides very crisp and stunning images for its small size. Plenty of the kids were very excited to see those rings!!

Al-Paslow > My 6 year old daughter "Stormie Paslow" observing Saturn.
