As described in a previous post, I assembled a Sun Funnel to use on our Parks 60mm refractor with the tracking motor running to keep the Sun in the field of view as it across the sky during the April 8th total solar eclipse.
Our family members who gathered to watch the eclipse enjoyed having an alternative to staring at the Sun through eclipse glasses. It worked great!
In this clip, you can see the partially eclipsed Sun, a sunspot and even clouds drifting by.
The journey continues beyond 2009... check it out!
