Nice one, Mark, should be good for Guinness too!
I'll be away, unfortunately, but it should be a great day. Good luck with the weather.

Michael,
I'd be interested in any comments Dr Scullion can offer on the thermal protection elements designed into the DKIST - a 4m magnifying glass will focus LOT'S of energy!!!!

Big thanks to Mark and all the speakers at Solarfest yesterday.
Good fun day and luckily the Sun shook off the cloud for a few minutes before we went home.
