Looking for some opinions here. Preferably in time for this evening's SLAS board meeting. Item 1) Most here probably know that SLAS holds regular monthly public Sun viewing parties in SLC. What some may not know is that SLAS owns a .5 Angstrom (that means really good) hydrogen-alpha solar filter for use on the 200mm Bogdan refractor at SPOC. Incredible views! So, any interest in a) impromptu or b) scheduled afternoon Sun viewing events at SPOC? Item 2) With the peak of this year's Perseids (night of 12/13 August) coming only one day before new Moon is there any interest in an early morning Perseids watch?
