Re: I’ll be at NEAF for the Solar Star Party
Hi Stephen...
I'll see you at NEAF on Saturday.
Who else is planning to be there? Franco, maybe we can plan to meet around 11am at the Lunt booth unless you have a different time/place in mind.

Hi all... Getting settled after the return home after the eclipse trip, and it has been nice to have sunny skies the past few days.

Did you escape the snow that hit some parts of ontario and I hear Montreal had quite a bit too?

Regarding the glare, I'm not sure of the cause this time.
I will have to take it all apart and check for sources. I though I had a bit of a light leak but once fixed it still had a lot of glare, so back to the drawing board.
