Ep 100 - Total Lunar Eclipse, Atik Infinity, StarlightXpress Ultrastar and more!

As THOUSANDS of people across the WORLD take part in the WorldWide Solstice Festival, we'll be sharing and discussing just a few of the FANTASTIC images and news of the events here on this episode of At The Eyepiece. We may also have founders of the WorldWide Solstice Festival, Pamela Shivak and John W ONeal II call in as well and share how their individual outreach events are going LIVE on the air!  Have a Solstice Festival, or post solar or solstice related photos! It's that easy!Join the SOLARACTIVITY Facebook group for more worldwide events and post up your images!https://www.facebook.com/groups/solaractivity/Our goal to share our love of all things solar with as many people as possible, to extend our reach, to cross cultural and ethnic lines, to share with the masses. Art, music, good food and good company will bring many more people to us and our telescopes, than an ad in a local paper advertising an astronomy outreach program.The festival will encompass BOTH solstice dates. In June, northern hemisphere participants can do outside venues while Southern Hemisphere participants can schedule indoor activities, if weather warrants that. On the December date, we northerners can host indoor or virtual events and presentations while, our southern hemisphere participants can host their WORLDWIDE SOLSTICE FESTIVAL during their local summertime.If there is no local festival in your area, clubs and individuals can partner with Metroparks, civic groups and/or business interests to start their own festival. You can invite musicians, bands, artists, crafts people, food vendors, solar power representatives, etc. Let your imagination be your guide! You can partner with Metroparks, Museums, libraries, your local NASA office, etc, etc

Ep 99 - More equipment news PLUS WORLDWIDE Solstice Festival and GLOBAL SUN-Day!

Welcome to the At The Eyepiece Show! This is an astronomy based podcast that is devoted to discussing astronomical equipment, visual and electronically assisted observing, stargazing tips, observing reports and equipment reviews. We don't focus on the science of astronomy, there are plenty of shows out there to do that. The focus of At The Eyepiece Show are the backyard stargazers that enjoy taking their telescopes out under the stars, and those individuals wishing to join our ranks. After all, what matters to stargazers is what’s At The Eyepiece.

It is a very well rounded show.  He will have parts on high end cameras as well as naked eye targets. Very interesting delivery and I highly recomend it.

This is a cool show

I love this show. John presents so much information and his guests are very interesting. Stargazing with or without a telescope should be a part of everyone&#39;s entertainment. Keep those episodes coming to podcasts!!
