Learned how to project the sun through a telescope.
Left: Moon eclipsing the sun!
Bottom: Projection of sun with clouds over it. The dots are sun spots!
How to project the sun through a telescope:
Remove the eye piece.
Align the telescope so its shadow is shortest and straightest.
Tilt the telescope up/down by adjusting the telescope directly until it's pointed at the sun -- gross movement. You can tell when the telescope is pointed at the sun when you cup your hands at the end where the eye piece is. If the telescope is pointed at the sun, you will see the sunlight pass through and hit your cupped hand. This is the hardest part imho.
Place angled eye piece. You should now see part of the sun on the paper. Expect to repeat step 3 & 4 until you've got the sun. Patience, Nina, patience.
Focus and center sun into view.
You’ll have to continuously finely move the direction the telescope is pointing at as the earth rotates.
Observe w ur naked eye and invite your neighbors to share this awesome paper TV experience :)
