The above image is the sort of view one will see through the member telescopes. AAAP member Dan, above caught an unusually large sunspot.
Join in the family fun at Mt. Lebanon Earth Day and get hands-on experience looking through safe solar filtered telescopes.
Warning: Never look directly at the Sun with or without a telescope. Permanent eye damage can result. Only safe specialized solar observing filters can shield the invisible damaging rays.
