YVAC member Bob Yoesle has graciously offered to share his solar observing knowledge and instruments with the club on Saturday, July 29th. We'll meet at Sam's place starting at about 2pm for observing, then for those who'd like to stick around, we'll throw a BBQ and finish with a presentation about solar astronomy. An action-packed event for sure!

Bob will treat us to both hydrogen-alpha and "white light" filtered telescopic views of the sun. That means we'll be able to see both sunspots, and "solar prominences" - a rare view into the solar activity of the corona. As the sun is approaching the next solar maximum, we should be in for some really cool sights.

As always - never look at the sun with a telescope, unless equipped with proper filtration.

If you're interested in attending, please RSVP with Sam at: maxamew@gmail.com for directions to the property. Event is from 2pm to about 8pm.
