The big monster spot would have been a great target for everyone using the glasses and sunoculars :bow :bow :hamster:

Hey Gus that round object is a peep or diffraction disk. When you hold it up to your eye you can see how the light spectrum looks bouncing off bumpers or anything shiny..roll it slowly it really cool. You can use it with the CBSAP glasses or by itself and make some nice pics. Mark,your right I really enjoy getting out and interacting with people at the telescopes. I've learned so much on this forum & appreciate everyone's efforts here to make solar astronomy a enjoyable and informative & share that with people who step up to the eyepiece. It's just. SUNTASTIC !
