Hello all: the Westport Astronomical Society hosted a Solstice event at the Westport Library yesterday, as we do each year. We had the largest turn out of any year so far, so interest in solar is definitely increasing...
H Alpha scopes were a Coronado 40mm pre-Meade, a Lunt 80mm DS and my Solarmax 90mm DS. For WL we had a 10" Dob and other 6" scopes. I would estimate the turn out at between 150 and 200, from little kids to persons of all ages.
It was a very fun family day for everybody, and the sky was clear most of the time.....
