Re: [Utah-astronomy] Utah-Astronomy Digest, Vol 172, Issue 3
Chuck, I am Observant Jewish. Shabbos is Friday sundown to Saturday nightfall (after 3 stars can be seen, and determined by schedule....nowadays that happens at about 9:50 pm). Therefore I cannot go to any Sun OR Star Party. We don't use anything that has anything to do with creating. We don't ignite a spark. I was at ONE Star Party before becoming Observant, at the Museum. I saw the difference between white and red. I discovered I like the red view better. I learned a lot from Rodger that day. We also discussed How all the Jewish Festivals and holidays occur during astronomical events. Our calendar goes by the moon. Best, Shoshana The binocs were from B and H, and I just noticed them. I didn't do ANY research :) I just bought the top pair in this list: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=solar%20binoculars&N=0&InitialSear ch=yes&sts=ma&Top+Nav-Search= I'm sure I will enjoy filters for my 25 X 100's. -----Original Message----- From: Utah-Astronomy [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of utah-astronomy-request@mailman.xmission.com Sent: Thursday, June 8, 2017 12:00 PM To: utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Subject: Utah-Astronomy Digest, Vol 172, Issue 3 Send Utah-Astronomy mailing list submissions to utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to utah-astronomy-request@mailman.xmission.com You can reach the person managing the list at utah-astronomy-owner@mailman.xmission.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Utah-Astronomy digest..."

A dedicated solar binocular? What brand? I've never seen such a thing. Are they for white light, or hydrogen-alpha? I have made many sets of Baader filters for friend's binoculars, they work well and are inexpensive. I use them on my 15x70mm Resolux bino. I just checked, and there is one small sunspot group visible in white light, the same group I saw a few days ago. If I have time, I'll take out the PST again today for some H-a views. H-a is where the real details are seen, such as prominences, flocculi, and a myriad of other features. Have you been to a SLAS Sun Party? Lots of scopes to look through, in both white light and H-a. The next one is this coming Saturday at Winchester Park, 8 AM to 11 AM. Everyone is welcome. Winchester Park is located at 64th South 11th West.

However, we have scheduled some weekday star parties for SLAS members. -- Best wishes, Joe Sent from my iPhone

Shoshana, those are white-light solar binoculars. You'll see sunspots and that's about it. You need a hydrogen-alpha scope to see prominences and surface detail other than sunspots. I have to get up for work at 3:30 AM, so need to be in bed by about 8 PM. I can't even attend meetings or star parties during the week. On Friday nights, I can't stay awake for a star party because I've been up since early morning and working a physical job all day. Saturday nights are reserved for time with my wife, unless she wants to attend a star party, which is rare. So my regular attendance at club functions is awaiting my retirement. A few more years.
