I'm glad to know that. Better safe than sorry. You explanation makes sense -- the light is already at a safe level before entering your binoculars. Thanks Rick! Where does on get welder's

Hi Attilla, Oh yes absolutely anyone who wants to come is certainly free to do so, although I think we should limit the no. of scopes set up inside, at least until the Cadets leave. This would make

Mike, is this a public event where you will invite other astronomer to bring scopes? Or in general, would you like help? It's your party. -ad "it's a wafer thin starparty" conflict

Hi Jean, How about April 14th thats a day before last quarter, does this conflict with any other event? --L8tr Mike W

Greetings, I asked around last night at Cadets and I have 14 cadets and 2 staff (plus myself) who REALLY , REALLY want to go out to Equuleus and do some observing....of course the BIG question is

My only concern is that the image of the sun is focused inside the scope on the crosshairs. If they are delicate they may get cooked. Rick

Sure it's safe. I have a 2x4" welder's glass which I use in front of my 9x21 binos for quick checks of the sun. A telescope/binocular can't concentrate the light to any greater intensity than that

Some finderscopes would be damaged by solar projection. Thats becase the solar image at prime focus will be projected onto the reticle of the eyepice. If the reticle is a plastic crosshair (common)

Just wondering about whether anyone knows if a finderscope can be used safely to project the image of the sun onto paper. Isn't a finderscope like a tiny refractor? It should be able to project a

I sketched it a few days ago. At that time, the spot seemed horizontally oblong if you included the greyish area around the main black spot itself. There are a number of smaller sunspots as well.

You and most of the North American Continent! ;-) Hi there Marc, be most welcome! I thought that this abell1121 eMail address looked familiar! Very glad to see it again. How's your scope doing

Welcome Marc, I too believe in the multi-party system. I hope you find much astronomy and friends in this little party. clear skies, just after dinner -ad "_Nobody_ expects the Spamish

I checked it out this afternoon, with the #14 welder's glass I picked up for the Christmas eclipse. Neat! To my bleery eyes (too much programming this afternoon), it looked like a vertically-oblong

Hi All, I know most of you and only wish to observe and learn. I'll be monitoring for observing opportunities..I'm, in dire need of some observing! Ciao 4 know...my dinner is ready. Marc

Richard Taylor send an eMail to RASC members stating that the large sunspot he observed recently (I observed it as well and posted here), is now near the middle of the sun and is large enough to be

Neat stuff. Count me as someone who looks at it each time I update the page. Not that I understand what I'm seeing, mind. Bruce McGlashan

Hey Attilla!! Maybe when the wind is moving REALLY fast, the line could turn red!!! Just like in the American attempts to explain hockey to the uninitiated!! Then again, maybe not..... Desparately

Good Morning Photon Boy! I may have missed them, but do we have detailed instructions to get to this site? I will definately be coming, along with my daughter Catherine (of course assuming clear

Just got confirmation and more details for the session on Saturday at Conroy Pit. I will prepare a map that I will post tomorrow. The organizer told me: -There are 8 Beavers aged 5 & 6 ( moon

I've been playing with the code that generates the satellite pic on the OAFs mainpage. (I'm not actually sure that anyone uses it, but WTH.) I've tried to indicate which way the clouds are moving.
