[Chaos-l] Morehead Session at ECRA last night

[Jon]

Hi all.  There was a very large turnout at ECRA for the Morehead  
Perseid session last night, probably the largest crowd i've ever seen  
there.  Given the early closing time (11:00), as previously mentioned  
i just treated it as a regular session and brought the scope.  Quite  
a few of the people were there for the meteors, though, and every 10  
minutes or so we'd here an "oooh" or two.  I handed out quite a lot  
of CHAOS propaganda.  Most popular were the evening sky maps i'd  
printed from http://www.skymaps.com/.  I had 15-20 of them at the  
start of the evening, and they were all gone by about 10:00.  We need  
to figure out a way to get the CHAOS URL on them for next time.   
Quite a few of the "Starting Right" and "Buying Telescopes" handouts  
went as well, and i even managed to hand out some club application  
forms.

Thanks Josh, and all the other CHAOS people there as well.

J.
