I live only 20 minutes from WRO and can be found there on most clear nights esp. weekends. I no longer have any telescopes, or binoculars for that matter, but I like to use the 31" at the observatory! I am willing to open up the dome most any night, just drop me an email if you would like to come down and enjoy the views from the 31" at WRO.
