    v4 v5  
    2020 * If you want, you may watch the lecture, but you *must* return to the roof 30 minutes after the lecture has begun.  There will be people who come to the roof at that time, and you need to be at your post.
    2121 * When operating the telescope, make sure you are in focus and pointed at the target object (objects drift without tracking).  Offer attendees and opportunity to see the target and explain what it is.
    22  * Lately, we have had volunteers lead an initial group of visitors from the lecture hall up to the roof (often the families with children). This has the added benefit of discouraging everyone from mobbing the roof all at once. Taking the group up the elevators to the 13th floor and pointing out where the 3D wall is happening (if that's where the wildcard is set-up) and explaining how to get to the observatory helps prevent the visitors from getting lost and encourages them to experience more than they might otherwise. Usually, this will not be a roof volunteer, but occasionally, by agreement of the captains, we may ask you to do this.

    2323 * After 2 hours, please fully shut down your telescope (put away eyepieces, turn off telrad, put portable telescope back in transit room, etc.).  Check with your Roof Captain before you leave.
