>>A Coronado Personal Solar Telescope.

>>I've not used one of these before and it was fascinating to be able to see the sun and solar flares etc. I could even see the granularity of the suns surface.>
>At a huge family reunion we had back in August, my 23-year-old nephew brought along his solar telescope. I was hoping we'd have a sunny weekend because I've seen those cool sun photos on spaceweather.com and I was looking forward to seeing them for real. Unfortunately, it was overcast all weekend and we never got to use Ben's telescope. Darn!
