last year i was helping out with my schools solar eclipse presentation and i was in charge of the telescope that was the closest view of the event. so when the moon completely covered the sun, it looked like you werent looking at anything. and some 9 year old was saying that the scope was broken and i was like no? thats the moon? and he was like i cant see it and i was like because? its in front of the sun? and he kept saying the view finder was the scope and i was like no thats not the scope
I’ve done outreach stuff like that before and telling a child “now don’t move the scope” is worthless because damn it they’re gonna lean on the scope and I’m gonna have to reset it
