The show is in,
thanks to the capable slide-production skills of Julie Hembeck,
the intern who was here a few weeks ago.
It’s mostly automated.
The zoom is not used, the slew is used but doesn’t move.
The operator points out Sirius, Betelgeuse, Rigel, and of course Andromeda.
It’s a short show:
only about 30 minutes.
Premiered Sunday, June 22, 2008.
