Title: Solar Eclipse in Burlington
Post by: Bob.Prociuk on August 23, 2017, 06:36:10 PM
Set up one of the Dobs with a solar filter at Spencer Smith Park on Monday. Attracted a lot of tourists and people just out for a walk. Gave away lots of copies of Sky News and a few solar viewers. Had a great time explaining the dynamics of why eclipses occur and what to look for. Nice to see lots of sun spots on the sun too!!
