So at the STEM event at Washington Irving elementary I gave a slide presentation on what astronomers do and the 5th grade class was able to view the sun with some sun spots. I also had some of them view the solar eclipse too. Attached are three phases I captured.

So, on April 12th there was a second telescope viewing for anyone in the Washington Irving school and a number of parents and children came out (about 15-20 in all). Attached are a couple of images from the early evening’s viewings.



Sorry, Randy. I dropped the ball on this. I should have put it on the calendar and publicized it more to get you some help. Thanks your for supporting this and representing the club!

Nice images!
