        I forgot to mention that I am down in Aptos today, right on the
beach. Here its a bit breezy and I can't get the solar image to hold
perfectly. With my PST I can see many prominences and I've watched that
bright one on the Eastern limb, its a beaut! On the Western limb there
is another nice one buts its much thinner, dimmer. I'm using an 8mm TV
(40x ? ) and normally I can get a very sharp image, today its a little
difficult, a heck of a show! Good thing the moon isn't spoiling the
image;-)
