on 10/14. they will have 400 solar glasses to give away. i will probably be at our Watson field event
but i promised to pass it on. here’s their link; https://www.hormelnaturecenter.org/sola-fide-observatory.html

i thought the ecliptic was a path further south. does latitude have any effect? thanks josef!

darkskyjim replied to the topic Observing tonight? in the forum General Discussion 12 months ago
yes, it was nice. i’ve never noticed Mars (or any planet) so far off the ecliptic and wondered if there was a particular reason why? has it something to do with higher latitudes?

no, i just have the tools and not so good at collimating. next public event we have you could bring your telescope and someone could help you, particularly if Randy our prez is there.
