In case anyone forgot, Chuck is currently off the list per this message from last month. patrick On 25 Apr 2012, at 11:25, Chuck Hards wrote:
Just a note to let folks know that I have disabled my utah-astronomy deliveries for a few weeks. I am still subscribed, but will not be receiving list messages. 50-60 hour work weeks for the next month or so simply won't allow me the time or energy to read through them. I will still be checking my non-list email periodically, so if you need to contact me and don't have my phone number, email me at: chuckhards@yahoo.com
My SLAS email goes to the yahoo address, so I'll still be in the club loop.
I should be turning-on list messages again in about 4 to 6 weeks. If you have a L&O meeting, please let me know at the yahoo address or call me. Thanks!
Have fun!

Thank you Chuck!
I believe I was one of the few with a solar scope in the Kanarra creek trail-head parking lot, and I got a few curious bystanders to have a look and they were always floored. Here are a few photos including my best double eclipse sunset between the Earth and moon shot through my SunSpotter using a 14mm Explore Scientific eyepiece with a handheld point and shoot digital camera. What a wonderful telescope for the sun! The sunspots were about twice as sharp visually than as they seem in the photo.
