Solarscope Projector

I bought two of these for solar eclipse / transit watching with my children and have seen the transit of mercury from a professional observatory in Georgia (Europe). When the oil ran out in the generators, the telescopes were closed down and I got the only transit picture from the national observatory of Abastumani! In Turkey, I was invited to view a £6000 hydrogen alpha telescope as the eclipse started - look! There are four sunspots!! No I said, looking at my £40 cardboard telescope, there are 6 sunspots - there were indeed - sometimes simplicity in the optical pathway leads to clearer images. Every year for over a decade I instructed my Science and Society class in the Kilkenny Baha'i Summer School to observe the sun with their own eyes - through this marvelous little wonder that is a small but very accurate lens / mirror and a projection telescope that folds to a pizza box. Its traveled the world and just captured a Mercury Transit 11/11/19. Brilliant.
