The AAA hosts solar observing on the High Line one Tuesday afternoon each month from April through August. We also haveˆànighttime observing on the High Line later that same day.
Observing will take place near the 14th Street entrance or just south of the Standard Hotel, which crosses over the High Line near 13th Street. For more information about the High Line, including directions, please visit ourˆàHigh Lineˆàpage.
We have telescopes equipped with special filters for viewing the Sun. You may bring your own equipment, but we insist on strict safety provisions due to the dangers of improperly filtered direct solar viewing.ˆàAll devices used for direct solar viewing must be fitted with approved filters.
Expert solar astronomer and AAA board member Tom Haeberle leads our Solar Observing. When you arrive, just look for Tom and his solar-filtered Telescope and enjoy.
What is there to see onˆàthe Sun right now?
