yes, they will be able to see a good chunk bit out of the sun with the solar filter or solar glasses.

great image, thanks for posting it! as soon as you were talking about the telescope
at the meeting i wondered how Orion nebula would look with it 😉

nice Bob!

that’s an awesome image!

thank you so much Josef! i knew it didn’t look as i remembered…explains it perfectly 😉

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

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?

very nice Bob! thanks for sharing 😉

yea, my situation has changed anyway so i won’t make it. i hope the wind dies down…

yes, cross our fingers for Saturday Jeff!

saturday would be better for me but let me know if you decide to go tonight.

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.

wow, just got back in town and see we lost Dean Johnson! very sad news indeed. missed the meeting but if
anyone brought up doing a StarBQ in his honor i’m in.

the Orion Lasermate deluxe works well or the Howie Glatter if you want to spend the big bucks. i have both if you just need to borrow them? jim

nice pics Bob! makes me want to buy a c8 like i’ve been thinking of 😉

sorry, thought the saturday you were referring to was this saturday the 20th!

i could do saturday if weather permits.

good one Bob 🙂

anyone have the durn passcode for the meeting?
