Travel to Neil Hawkins Park Joondalup for morning tea, continuing on to Bindoon and Windmill Farm for lunch, where our host will cook us a BBQ of chicken, sausages and lamb chops that melt in your mouth, with a variety of salads followed by dessert of homemade trifle with tea or coffee. After lunch we begin with the audio visual presentation on the universe in the air-conditioned conference centre on Windmill Farm followed by viewing of the Sun. This is done through a very special and expensive filter called H-Alpha Filter [.9 Angstrom] which allows us to see sunspots and spectacular prominence activity at the limb, flares are also visible on the surface along with white light detail. This is the only safe way to view the sun and I had this system made in the USA and this company does all of NASA’S filters.
