Solar Sunday Outreach

Post by sullij1 »

Ended up at the Mottino YMCA in Oceanside Ca. For Solar Sunday. A light trickle of about 20 folks between 9am and 2pm. About 6 pairs of CBSAP glasses given out to parents and kids. Was a lot of fun. As It was just me, the flow was a perfect leisurely day in the park. I did only one photo of a visitor as I was busy explaining stuff when others arrived. I haven't developed the discipline to talk and photograph (walk and chew gum) at the same time yet. Forgive me Stephen. A local aspiring politician was kind enough to pose for me. :)

You can see how I ride the meager PST (FD) next to the meager Quark for outreach. Also the 102mm as a whitelight. Shoestring outreach for sure.. :D

You are so funny Joe, your wit and humour must be just as entertaining as the Sun :lol:

Well done, you got further than me yesterday ;)

As it was cloudy we went round to our neighbour's house instead, she struggles with the garden and has nothing but weeds. The hubby weeded the garden and I planted the equivalent of a few hundred pounds worth of flowers and plants in the borders for her which I had grown and divided from my own garden. Hopefully this has given her a little ray of sunshine on International solar sunday instead ;)
