Can you tell us a bit about
Can you tell us a bit about what you might be looking at on Friday? I've never studied astronomy and find it helpful to do a bit of reading before heading over.
Thanks
VISIT TO YOUR OBSERVATORY
MY NAME IS BOB GUNNERSON. I'M FROM LOVELAND COLORADO AND I WILL BE IN YOUR AREA ON APRIL 29TH AND 30TH, 2008. IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN GET A TOUR OF YOUR OBSERVATORY?
I THINK THAT CHAMBERLIN OBSERVATORY IN DENVER WAS BUILD WITH YOURS AS AN EXAMPLE. I'VE SPENT LOTS OF TIME AT CHAMBERLIN WITH THE DAS (DENVER ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY).
I HAVE SEVERAL INSTRUMENTS OF MY OWN INCLUDING A 6" REFRACTOR AND A C-14.
LET ME KNOW, THANK YOU, BOB GUNNERSON
