<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I somehow have ended up in charge of a solar eclipse booth* at the March for Science Pasadena outreach fair at Memorial Park this Saturday, from 9:30am to 11am. No, I am neither an expert nor an enthusiast, but there is a plethora of free educational material I can leverage for some activities and handouts.<br clear="none">

One of the activities involves pointing a cheap telescope at the sun, and putting some white paper on the eye-piece side, so you can indirectly view the sun. (One should obviously not look through the telescope into the sun without putting the appropriate filter on the telescope.)<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Anyone have a cheap telescope I can borrow? The event is on Saturday. I'd like it by Friday night at the latest, since I need to make a cardboard baffle to cast a shadow on the paper, thereby highlighting the sun.<br clear="none">

Thanks,<br clear="none">
