1.5.17 -- Monday

We were asked to open the domes for this the Centre's May Day celebration. They had games and things for children mostly and food and drinks too. So we set up both domes with solar telescopes, the Meade with a white light filter on the 80ED and the PST on the mount in the big dome. The sky was mostly cloudy but gradually cleared to let us have a look at the Sun. Only one spot and a couple of small prominences but still worth the effort for the many people who came in, not as many as last year, but that had the Tour de Yorkshire going past the gate on the same day.
Our helpers were Dave and Lesley, Paul and Elaine, Sue came as a visitor and Max brought Wendy and his mother too. Lesley went and collected Sandra and her Planets game because I'd forgotten her.
