@zander Thanks for the pointers on getting the telescope aligned. Maybe I'll be ready by the next eclipse! 😎

@zander I was never able to get my telescope aimed correctly at the sun. Not exactly why I was having the issue.

@dronebot-workshop You can even Baily's beads! My solar telescope adventure was a total bust. I did get to see the partial eclipse at its fulles...

@zander I have the scope that Bill uses in his video, but I'm finding the aiming device doesn't work very well, at least for me. I'll try the sigh...

@dronebot-workshop I'm just trying to get a focused picture with the camera and lens on an object across the room. No telescope involved at the mom...
