Solar observing Saturday 12th Jan at Sue's 10:00 - 14:00

I've been having E mail conversations with Hugh this evening as we are going to the school tomorrow.  He suggests rather than trying to "track" we just find the sun manually and tweek the controls frequently.

I did that on the Moon watch as they had to wait for us to put the scopes up, let alone find time to do an alignment, and it worked OK.  Having said that of course I dare say the sun is more difficult to locate.  I have some solar specs I could bring if you need to look at the sun while you are trying to locate it in the scope.

Who is the person who is actually going to bring and operate the solar scope on the day?  Is this Jim?
