Dave Halupowski and Dennis Hausch braved the mostly cloudy skies and setup solar telescopes at the Heritage Museum’s 40th annual “Saturday in the Park” celebration in Valparaiso. Dave set up his ancient and honored Unitron refractor and provided a projection view of the Sun. Dennis set up his white light filtered Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope and his Coronado Hydrogen-Alpha scope. Later in the afternoon club member Professor Tony Russo from NWFSC joined the pair and added his expertise to the group.

When the clouds intervened they answered lots of Astronomy questions and handed out the club’s schedule of public star gazes. Photos courtesy of Dave Halupowski and Marietta Hausch
