[Chaos-l] MASP

[Robert Nielsen]

Jeff,

In my opinion (and I've been to MASP for a number of years) it would 
work perfectly.   The event is actually very family-friendly (everyone 
has their clothes on ... except Mark South ... no drinking around 
thousands or millions of dollars of optical equipment) and there are 
nights when the public (mostly from around Robbins) comes in and various 
people let them see things through their scopes.    It might be that 
there is "noise" late in the evening or at night, but mostly that is the 
hum of computers and mounts with the occasional "whoa" from people who 
see a meteor.

I think it would be a great experience for your daughter.

Robert
