Dear All
Greetings from Sunny India! I am new to this forum. But I am very excited to join this. I am from Pune, India doing Astronomy Outreach for many years...My interest is Solar Astronomy (Public Outreach and Photography for Education).
Here are some latest pictures of Solar Astronomy Outreach Event at New English School, Pune. The students were from special Basic Astronomy course of 3 months.
Also attached a photo of my home-built Observatory and telescopes I am using.
Thank you
