tuckstar Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 I had noticed that, great selling point for the locals. Get your glands done while you look at the sun. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 how many solar scopes are going to be there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckstar Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 We usually have 3 or 4 scopes with Bader film filters/ glass filters depending on who brings what. One chap has pst but i dont think he would bring to a public event. Was a very busy event last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monmouth3817 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Looks like it's going to be a busy weekend for IDAS Members!! Not sure what to bring as a white light solar scope - 80mm frac or a 6 inch reflector - decisions, decisions Monmouth3817 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckstar Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Think frac is better for the little kids who can't reach the eyepiece on the newts. See you Sunday Mark. Thanks to Steve who will be bringing his PST along for the event. Edited July 2, 2014 by tuckstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monmouth3817 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Yes, thanks to everyone for coming along to support the event today. Good amount of people walking around, and we were all able to show them some great Sunspots - between the clouds! I'll try and post a couple of pictures - if I can figure out how to do it.
