Inside Tucson Business Magazine is a local business oriented weekly publication in Tucson.

They recently came out for an interview and a chance to look thru some of the Lunt Solar scopes. Here is the beginning of the article…..

“Of all the beauty in nature that people take notice of in a day, the largest thing in our solar system may be the most ignored: the sun.

Mothers have always warned their children not to look directly into the sun – and for good reason.
In all of its massive power and size the light given off by the huge burning ball of gas is enough to cause serious eye damage.

For those who don’t want listen to their moms’ advice, Lunt Solar Systems is happy to oblige…….”

 So I live in small town outside Pucallpa Peru called San Jose.

There are probably 500 families that live in the town.
Here is a picture of our house.
It is a 3 bedroom with a tin roof.

The fruit trees that surround it have fruit almost all year. It is wonderful until a piece lands on the roof. BOOM !!! and you jump out of your skin.
We have gotten used to it and now I really like the sound when it rains.

This image is one a few that were sent in by Eduard Garcia-Ribera a few days ago.

Our thanks goes out to Eduard for providing excellent images taken thru an LS100T.

Many may recognize this active region of just a short while ago. We certainly hope that the images will continue to be sent in as the Sun becomes more and more active..

To see more images by Eduard and/or to submit your own images for our photo gallery please visit the Lunt Solar Image Gallery at http://luntsolarsystems.com/galleries.html

We look forward to, and really appreciate, these amazing contributions… Thanks!
