>Connie, We have been busy trying to set up for the eclipse. I have PVC tubes which all the students can hold to do an individual pinhole projection. We will have two telescopes. We have ordered special mylar glass and hope to have the filters cut by Tuesday. We are practicing with photographing the eclipse through a telescope. We will be using an Astroscan. We hope to use the video camera as someone has suggested. And, finally I have a student who has dug out the Inspire Receiver and is figuring out how to look for Whistlers as was noted in The Science Teacher. I will be reading instructions over the PA to the student body on Tuesday morning and hope to take my students out from 11:00 on. The principal is excited about this. I remember the eclipse of 1984. We observed it in South Boston, VA. What I remember about the darkness was it seemed like there was a 20 degree drop in temperature for a long period of time. We ran back to the vans for coats because it had gotten so cold. Maxine mwillis@oberon.hs.gettysburg.edu Maxine C.
