While other members supported Valpariso’s Saturday in the Park event, Tom Haugh supported Walton County’s Earth Day Festival at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park. He had a Hydrogen-Alpha telescope setup for the guests to safely view the Sun up close. But, with the Sun approaching solar minimum, there was little to see other than convection cells on the Sun’s surface.
Waiting for guest observers.
There was a steady stream of guests that got to view the Sun. Tom also handed out a lot of the club’s schedule of state park star gazes as well as 2018 Pear Tree Observatory calendars.
