As previously written, door prize drawings are held at 3 pm every day beginning on Tuesday, November 7th and ending on Saturday, November 11th.
Our main prizes this year include a -
Sky Watcher Star Adventurer 2i equatorial mount for small telescope or camera tracking. (It even has a built in intervalometer!
Explore Scientific 28 mm/68 degree field 2 inch eyepiece
Two ES Bresser 35 mm/70 degree field 2 inch eyepieces
Explore Scientific 32 mm/62 degree field 2 inch eyepiece
Explore Scientific 20 mm/68 degree field 1.25 inch eyepiece
Astro-Tech Paradigm 15 mm/60 degree field 1.25 inch eyepiece
Possibly a TeleVue 2x 1.25 inch barlow (this is what we usually get, but not yet received)
Numerous astronomy books plus several other prizes.
Tickets - a bit of a change this year - to incentivize longer attendance, registrants who are staying for 4 nights or 5 nights will get two door prize tickets per registration. If a couple registers separately (each pays $35 for registration rather than the $55.00 family registration and each individual is there for 4 or 5 nights, each gets two
tickets so they have 4 chances). A family registrations gets one ticket if their stay is 3 nights or shorter and two tickets if there for 4 or 5 nights.
Winners need to be present at all drawings to collect a prize. Individuals have to be aware of time. Being on site but away from the drawing taking a nap does not count if your name is called.
