Above is a picture of Sunspot 1029 taken with the JMS telescope on 10/27.

It is the largest Sunspot in a long time. We have been experiencing a low point in the Solar Sunspot Cycle. Perhaps this group is a sign that we are on our way out of the low and moving towards the other end of the cycle!

Parking and Directions to Observatory

The observatory is located behind the JMS. You will park in either the West or East parking lots on the side of the school. Then you will walk around behind the school.
