Astronomy Outreach at Mountain Lake

The Astronomy Mobile Outreach Vehicle (AMOV) was at Mountain Lake for Astronomy Outreach at an Astronomy Elderhostel. This event, organized by the ever impressive Jessica Coker, was a pleasure, and the skies stayed clear for our observing dayes. It was a great success this year, from my point of view. Here are some images from a solar observing session.
