Our first visit to Maude Saunders Elementary school was our last SPICE event of the summer. We gave our solar presentation to about 45 students and an additional 3 or 4 adults. The students asked some excellent questions and there was a lively discussion after the session. Then it was time to head out to the telescopes. We had plenty of support for our first visit to the school. Each of the following club members provided instrumentation for the students to use:
- Frank Atchson
- Dean Covey
- Tom Haugh
- Dennis & Marietta Hausch
- Ken Leone
 The vanguard of the students hit the telescope lines. |
 Students view the Sun through Ken’s solar binoculars. |
 The lines at Frank’s (L) and Dean’s (R) scopes start to build. |
 The line at Dennis’ white-light filtered Maksutov. |
The weather started somewhat cloudy but the clouds were light enough and broken enough that everyone got to see everything. We wish to thank the faculty and staff of the Maude Saunders SPICE program for the invite. We had just as much fun as the students.
