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!!

Nice ... yeah, lots of sunspots for a low spot in the solar cycle, eh...
Thanks for posting.
