    A HIGH SCHOOL???

    Coroner’s Report:

    Stroke brought on by massive cognitive dissonance as victim pondered his own school’s 1950s era lab equipment while gazing in awe at the Clay Observatory.

    Well, when you consider that a fair portion of MIT’s faculty’s kids probably attend (and go to the website – that’s no ordinary HS…) I suppose one shouldn’t be too surprised… *sigh* suddenly my 8″ Newtonian seems so…inadequate ;)

    You could also go to this high school and take this course. They also have a little observatory on the roof that would do just fine for this sort of thing.

    Also, I had a fire control tech once who took his scope just about everywhere on deployment. Occasionally I had to get him out of trouble with authorities who had never seen a telescope…
