[QUOTE=NEOWatcher;1134706]I don't think it takes an optometrist to answer this question... I hope they didn't go out of thier way to get this little ditty. Is his location important to the story? (I sense some palm greasing here)


Well, yes, Marc is my optometrist. So I didn't go out of my way. But a little more backstory - he is also an incredibly generous individual. When I organized a solar eclipse viewing in Paril 2005, he donated $500 for me to purchase solar eclipse sunglasses for the students of the school district as a give away. As a thank you, I included that question in the press release. So, "palm greasing" = no; publicly recognizing a sponsor = yes.

And since the solar eclipse, I've kept him in the loop for other sky events.
