Presentation on wheelchair accessible telescope for Okie-Tex 2025?

Okie-Tex

Greetings! There are openings on the posted scheduleI of events for 2025 Okie-Tex on Friday (9/26). I gave a presentation at Okie-Tex in 1993(?) at Lake Murray on a Pfund optical design telescope I hoped to build at McDonald Observatory. The telescope was eventually built and dedicated for public use at the observatory’s visitors center (link below). I would welcome the opportunity to do a presentation on the telescope if there is an opening.

Thanks!

Hey Bill! Thank you for offering! I need to update the website as the only open spot right now is the Friday night keynote (it’s been a real struggle this year). I would love to have you down as a backup though, if that works for you.

If that works, you can email me at danny.macdonald@okcastroclub.com and we can discuss this further and get it nailed down.

That sounds like a really neat talk :slightly_smiling_face: Thank you for offering!
