Solar Observing Tour!

Created: 05-12-1999. . . . . Last revised: 11-10-2022.

    	This is my attempt to share "solar observing" with the net.
	On this page, I will try to display my solar observation results. 
	Due to the fact that I can only observe on the weekends, 
	and that Pittsburgh isn't the most sunny place in the world, 
	my observations may not be current. 
	Still, I hope you will find this page of some interest, at least the first time.   :)
