That observing was great, though. I had my usual little refractor for projection viewing. Plus I bought Hillary a 60mm shorty refractor from a friend, and Bill sweetened the deal by including Baader solar film. She just takes a small cover off the dust cap, and instant solar scope. Too awesome. <br /><br />The observatory complex we were camping at had a mask an Ha filter for their primary scope, a 16" Meade LX200. Of course el Sol cooperated nicely with so many means of observation. There were a few sunspot groups, and a nice prominence when I viewed through the Ha filter. <br /><br />I've been missing the Sun though, even online. Got to check it out again soon.Pauliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15282322838637098439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450988270244461662.post-73997737376320333792011-09-04T13:25:32.240-07:002011-09-04T13:25:32.240-07:00Hey NSG it is amazing how astronomy fits so nicely...Hey NSG it is amazing how astronomy fits so nicely into this lifestyle.
