"LOWELL OBSERVATORY TOUR
ENJOYED BY LARGE GROUP
A large crowd of P.A.S. members and their families travelled to Flagstaff Saturday, October 25 [1975] to tour Lowell Observatory and observe with the 20" refractor.
... ...
After a walk-thru tour of the Planetary Sciences Building, Mr. [Charles] Capen led the group, some 43 people, to the 20" refractor dome.
The rest of the evening was spent observing - a few "diehards" stayed until about 1 a.m, when the Moon began to interfere."
