IDAS @Kirk Hallam Uk

Post by Ibbo »

2nd of 2 outreach events for me this weekend
I have rediscovered how awkward it is to take pictures at these things esp as on Sat when I was on my own

many members of the public were given views of the sun in white light and with Frankie back in use my PST/Vixen mod using the DMK
it was not wall to wall sunshine but many folks were willing to hang around and chat or come back later
