Doing outreach tomorrow

Post by axlefoley »

I am doing an outreach tomorrow at the Townsville Musuem but I only have a 600 Orion with a Baader wedge, my friend has a 60mm Lunt, it'll just be the 2 of us.

Unfortunately my SM90 is still in transit from the U.S. after being repaired under warranty and my Quark has been returned to Daystar for warranty so all I have left is my white light scope.

I only have about 40 CB solar glasses left give to the kids but I hope we have a good turnout.

I plan on doing a timelapse so I'll post it back here.

Wish me luck.
