I met Ashirwad Tillu from Mumbai, India last year at a star party at 14000 feet in the Himalayas of Ladakh, India. Turns out we had a lot in common. He observers with an 18” Teeter Dob, perhaps the only Teeter telescope in India. He’s currently visiting California and I’m hoping to take him out tonight to look through my 28-inch.

A few others on the 28-inch should be okay, but I would like to limit it only to people who can hand-track a dob so it doesn’t become a workout for me like last time. We’ll be looking at objects that are showpieces in a 28” but not in a 16” or 14”.

Called the rangers, the lot will be dummy locked.

A 28 incher at Coe?  Don't suck up all the photons!  I plan on going later in the week.

Too bad you didn’t join, you’ll be scraping our leftovers
