We were invited to participate in the summer reading program at the Fort Walton Beach Library. The library is one of our ‘adopted’ libraries and has one of our donated telescopes on hand for check out. The reading program is a day time event so we opted for a solar star gaze. Unfortunately, the clouds did not want to cooperate. Dean Covey and Dennis Hausch were able to support this event anyway and here is Dennis’ report:
Dean and I both went to the library to watch the clouds. We did a classroom type of presentation showing the types of telescopes and images of the current sunspots and prominences using Ipad images. Dean also brought an album with photos he has taken. There were about 30 students in attendance, for a clouded out event it went quite well.
