Oxford College Solar outreach 2014-03-20

20 March, 2014 (22:26) | Events, Outreach | By: tramakers

Thursday afternoon, Frank and Theo went to Oxford College. We were invited by Jim Honeycut to bring Solar to the students. After a presentation about the sun using some of our tools, the astronomy class took their time to observe the sun in great detail through visible light and H-alpha telescopes. They made some nice drawings of what they saw and a few of them actually snapped an image if the Sun with their cell phones through the telescopes. We really did appreciate the session with some good questions and a lot of attention and at the end everyone was able to see how we image the sun as we actually ran some avis :-) .
