Electronics Store

A not so recent thread on some subject identified a local electronics store where you could get everything you could possible need. Who recalls the name of that store? I suspect many of you do, but please post the name and/or an address so I can see it. Thanks Joan

Huge, complex sunspot AR 2529
by John M. Craig 11 Apr '16

11 Apr '16

Hi Folks, If you have the Ha or white-light solar gear, this one is definitely worth a look--the thing is impressively big. I'm guessing it might be visible w/o magnification, but I am stuck doing taxes so haven't taken the time to check (as the clouds close in). It looks like it should be visible tomorrow also. In Ha, there's a lot going on around the sunspot also--interesting filaments, plages, and such. I haven't had a chance to check in white light, but I imagine that'd be great too. Happy Sun-day! John

I managed a few minutes in Ha today but the wind and clouds shut me down. Very impressive spot, can't wait for it to move in for a better view!

Big sunspot! Not the largest single spot I've seen, but definitely top-ten size. If you dropped the earth in that spot, it would be nothing but net! Hopefully the clouds clear a bit tomorrow and I can set up the H-a scope. On 4/9/16, John M.

M81 and M82
by Dave Gary 08 Apr '16

08 Apr '16

I was testing out a new polar alignment procedure and refining data acquisition parameters for AstroTortilla when I decided to take a quick shot of M81 and M82. This was one 10-minute exposure, no guiding, through the 81mm scope. > https://www.flickr.com/photos/78046474@N06/25670528164/in/dateposted-public/ <https://www.flickr.com/photos/78046474@N06/25670528164/in/dateposted-public/>

Observing tonight
by Joel Stucki 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

Heading out to Vernon for the first time tonight. Anyone else going out that way? Planning on checking a few of the sites out on FR006 but may stay close to the reservoir campground since there are restrooms and I will have the kids.
