One of the most rewarding things you can experience as an astronomer is sharing the hobby with someone else. The public has long had a fascination with all things astronomical but very few see anything more than an occasional television special or a headline in the media. When you put someone in front of an eyepiece and show them something in the heavens you can count on a smile and a wow.
People seem to drop all of their “walls” when it comes to staring into telescopes. They seem to revert back to their youth with a keen look of wonder and a desire to see more. It is really a great experience for both the observer and the provider of the service.
There are many ways to share the hobby. Some people invite friends or family out with them for observing while others go as far as to hold completely random public events and have any willing passersby take a look. There are many local clubs you can join to expand and share your knowledge as well.
Through the fine folks at LUNT SOLAR SYSTEMS you can purchase a research quality instrument that is rugged and dependable enough to take out of the observatory environment and share with the public. Lunt offers several different setups for any price range and interest level from imaging minded scopes to visual packages that will show the wonders of our Sun.
