We had lots of people stop by, and everyone seemed to be aware of the recent CME activity. They were all interested to see where it came from.
This is a good time for solar outreach. We had a great time.

My buddy Tom and I set up scopes in downtown Portsmouth, NH today to give the public a look at sunspot area 1439 which has been so active as well as solar prominences. We had four scopes set up, two H-alpha (one single stack, one double), one white light and one using the new "sun funnel" rear-projection kit I made for the upcoming Venus transit.
