It’s a fantastic day. I am missing the dome, SPSP and the past months great weather.
I needed some emergency sunnage?
I have no scope, no DMK51, no ZWO120 or 174mm with me, no tripod………I am getting desperate for some sunnage.
But wait - I remember I have in a box, in my drawer an emergency cut offs supply of solar film. Oh joy!!!
Now its play school time. Scrounging a pain killer box, a dunny roll tube and using some sticky tape I McGyvered my way to make this monstrosity.
To the locker now I find the old tripod work has - its rusty through no use. Then I borrowed the camera from work - LOL ended up grabbing a panasonic DMC-TZ60

Haha that's brilliant David! Got some good McGyver skills going on there. Well, you forgot to use some chewing gum and thumb tacks in there as a way of separating the solar spectrum ;)
