Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
The Novins Planetarium had a telescope day on November 20, 2021. We were present for four of the five planned shows that day with some assistance of four of our ASTRA members with a total of 120 visitors. Our display included the basics of telescopes with some sample scopes and accessories. Also an IDA display and sample light fixture about light pollution.
