UPDATE: It is my goal to secure a spot on land or sea to provide educational outreach for the April 2023 TSE in Australia. This may take place on a cruise ship off the coast of Exmouth, Australia. Let’s see what happens!
Why view the Sun?
The Sun never appears the same day to day through a hydrogen alpha telescope. Active regions of the Sun are always changing. Features such as plage, sunspots, filaments and prominences are always available to view. Hydrogen alpha telescopes allow us to see the Sun in it’s active state. And the reddish-orange color seen in the eyepiece is pleasing to the eye, as you view the ball of fire that is 93 million miles away and 860,000 miles in diameter! That’s 110 earths wide!
View the Sun with me and let’s learn together!
I've done many Solar Outreach educational events over the years. Camps, schools and the local library. In addition, I've done educational outreach at NEAF - the Northeast Astronomy Forum , Old Faithful Geyser at Yellowstone Park, Sunrise, WY for the Total Solar Eclipse of 2017 and as a Tour Coordinator for Tropical Sails travel in Chile, South America for the Total Solar Eclipse of 2019.
I also have an ongoing PowerPoint presentation on Total Solar Eclipses.
Please contact me if you are interested in a Solar Outreach program that combines a PowerPoint presentation with Solar Viewing. (clouds not included!)
