Leah, As far as having someone come in and do a demo, I don't know if all companies would charge a fee to do that. When I worked at the McDonnell Planetarium, I can tell you that we didn't have to pay anything for Zeiss to come in and run a demo of…

Hi Mark!!
Great to hear from you! Yes, I remember you! I'm still sharing my same passion of astronomy at the planetarium in Statesboro, GA and with our astronomy club outreach events.
Wow, congratulations on getting your masters degree, that is awesome. I sure hope you'll find a position soon, you'd be perfect. Have you attended any of the regional planetarium conferences or checked out IPS? They are great resources for learning about any job openings. Best of luck to you. Chris is now up in the Rocky Mountains working on his graduate degrees in solar physics and loving it! It was such a fantastic experience for him, and for all of us to get to go to JPL and Mount Wilson. I'll never forget it!
I have to run, finals are in progress this week and things are really busy. I look forward to learning and sharing new things in astronomy with everyone in the group.
Take care - Becky
