>>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! >> > >Why didn't you look at the clouds through the telescope? You could have seen a silver lining <g>
Excellent suggestion, Dmitry! I should have done that! I could certainly use a silver lining ... <g>
