1. A Sunny Day in West Glasgow

   Today was our first public event of the astro season - Sun over the Botanics.  We had our solar telescope set up to view the Sun and were treated to some fantastic views of prominences all afternoon.  We also had a spectroscope set up to show how the light from the Sun is comprised of many different colours.

   We spoke to lots of people about astronomy in general and specifically what we had planned for the coming year.  Lots of members dropped in to help, or bring telescopes to learn how to set them up.  Passers by picked up information about our lectures and public observing evenings and asked all sorts of questions.

   All in all, a successful, fun and tiring day in the Sun.

   Clear skies,
