On Saturday, June 19th 2004, the club gathered at Joe Southerton's home for our annual picnic / star party. 



Jim Shaffer's 100mm refractor with a Baader filter gave excellent views of sunspots.

(No, the grass isn't dead, your webmaster didn't check the exposure before setting the timer.  Yes, the tripod is losing a leg.)
