Astronomy Day

The museum had an outdoor exhibit of local amateurs' scopes; most were set up with solar filters. Bagged two personal firsts (that is, eyes rather than photos): penumbrae around a double sunspot (through a home-made 8" Dobsonian), and a prominence at the limb (through a H-alpha filter on someone's 6" Celestron).

Forecast doesn't look good for the lunar eclipse Thursday night, though...
