The NWFAA was once again invited by the Northwood Elementary School 3rd grade to setup telescopes and talk about the Sun. Dave Halupowski, Dennis Hausch and Tom Haugh were able to make the trek way up north to Crestview.

Dave brought his ancient and honored Unitron refractor to demonstrate the classic method of Solar projection. Sunspots were plainly visible on the projection screen. |
| Dennis’ Coronado provided a Hydrogen Alpha view showing a nice prominence starting off the morning. |

Tom’s filtered 8″ Meade rounded out the telescope array with a white light view. |
The students attended the NWFAA solar presentation, then afterwards, came out the to telescope lineup class by class to view the Sun in a perfectly clear sky. We want to thank the Northwood Elementary School staff and students for the invite and warm welcome. We look forward to next years solar event.
