Observatory was open to Faac members, tonight but some others visited

Here's a link to the stereo NASA site showing what's happening with the sun. For those who have safe solar scopes to look at the sun this can be a cool link. Consult with a knowledgable astronomer before attempting to look at the sun. This is not generally a safe thing to so without a proper solar scope.

Here's a photo of the beehive cluster we quickly snapped through the telescope tonight. This was shot through the 80 'm Meade f7 80mm telescope on the back of the huge c14 that the FAAC club installed.

A simple exposure without any fancy processing which would improve it.
