Subject: New Use For Sextant

Last night we had a partial solar eclipse here in the Seattle Washington
area. I wanted to look at the eclipse so I used my Tamaya Jupiter sextant
with a 7X scope and a dark gray filter and a green filter. Worked great! I
had all of my family look through the sextant to view the eclipse. I then
had the idea to put my Kodak digital camera up to the sextant eyepiece and I
took a couple of decent photos!
Any excuse to use my sextants... ;-)
