NEAF Solar Star party was rained out on Saturday.
Sunday (aptly named) was sunny with passing clouds. Many solar observers were out with lots of nice equipment. Daystar and Lunt were there with the newest H-alpha scopes. Lehires spectroscope covers the entire visible spectrum. There were also a couple of Baader Herschel Wedges. Most of these instruments are rarely seen, much less all together in one place.

The sun was devoid of spots for the third year in a row.

Attached is a photo of the Lehires spectroscope.
