Thank you everyone who has indicated they are willing to volunteer for the Partial Solar Eclipse event this Saturday.? The cloud forecast models are iffy at the moment; we may have some clear skies but in the form of sucker holes ... fingers crossed!? I am proceeding with my own planning assuming the event is a GO.? A final call will be made on Friday.? Some notes for planning purposes:
- We will not have power available for this event, so please plan to come self sufficient battery powered.
- I plan to arrive around 11am to start setting up.? First contact is scheduled to occur at 12:06pm for our location.
- I will be bringing some old magazines, a couple Sun observing and eclipse posters, plus a big load of eclipse glasses (big thanks to Andrea Girones!)
- I will bring a 3' x 6' folding table
- Dress for the weather.? It is forecast to be 8-10degC, and it is always windy at this location.? Warm socks, toque, gloves, and warm jacket are recommended.
Cheers,
Jim T.
