People can damage anything. There is no such thing as "damage proof" optical equipment. I'll address the subject of club-owned solar equipment more fully tomorrow. I'm beat. Worked all day in the yard. Feels good. Good night folks! On Mar 15, 2013 3:50 PM, <erikhansen@thebluezone.net> wrote:
The best views I have had of the sun is with a 50mm scope and 90mm scope. I think the issue is you have to come have something that people cannot damage. The H-alpha is good example, if you make it widely available it has to be done with an optical system that will not damage it. Personal and group use are 2 different animals.
Hi Chuck,
Too bad you could not have been at the meeting. I brought up your offer and was surprised at the negative reception the idea of using non-glass filters received. You could have set them straight. :)
Rodger Fry and I would be happy with a full aperture Baader. Rodger is e boss so his vote wins.
I'll be at SPOC this evening so while there I'll get some measurements
and
pass them on to you.
Thanks again,
