I had 2 nice clear cloudless days here in Alabama so went to the local public lake/ park for CBSAP Outreach. My wife Anita helped me show people the SUN in WL & HA for a few hours each day. This place is great for us due to it being a short 10 min drive. I'm looking into getting some signage an...

Re: New scope

Congrats Forrest on your new solar scope. I'm glad you didn't get jinxed with cloudy skies for days. I was going to get a solar max too but when I looked through both thanks to the Camera Bug store I choose the Lunt 60 although mine doesn't have the pressure tune system I've been very happy with it....

This may seem silly to some of you but I am a amateur where most of you here appear to really know the ins and outs of solar observing. I have a Glass WL filter for my 8" LX90. I'd like to put a WL filter on my 6" Dobson to use at solar events as well. The Baader film is more cost effectiv...
