Sunday -- Very much in practice now, I built a filter holder for George Kelley's 6-inch F8 refractor and installed the H-a filter. Within thirty seconds, a cloud formed right in front of the sun and grew like Topsy. We cleaned up George's roll-off roof observatory and the telescope's mounting, waiting. An hour later, the sun peeped out from beneath the cloud.

And not a single prominence was evident anywhere. [1996 August 18]

Next Observations: 24 - 25 August 1996.
