Crap, latest prediction for Saturday is "isolated thunderstorms." Two days ago it was "sunny" My weather rock is as good a predictor as any - if it is wet is raining, if it is white .... Glad we didn't plan a breakfast... maybe the next Saturday. Have to say a 8" refractor with a H-A filter is quite attractive. Either way, I'll bring my camera with a t-ring adapter. :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chrismo" <djchrismo@gmail.com> To: "Utah Astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2011 11:38:23 AM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Sun viewing (Was: Patrick Wiggins Off Topic) post some pix, and some of the pix taken with it... i'm fascinated by anything 'home built' On Thu, Sep 15, 2011 at 11:32 AM, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:

That's my thought, though Saturday evening is supposed to bring some clearing. If it clears in the west before sunset is anybody's guess.
I'm going to try and attend the morning ATM session at Mat's, so I won't get the shakes if it's cloudy later on. I'll be bringing my mocked-up 6" f/1.25 astro-camera. I threw together a wooden housing to do some preliminary visual tests.
Funniest looking "telescope" you've ever seen. A wooden cube about 8 inches square.
