✦ Synopsis

During the summer, The Franklin Institute Monochromator was assembled and attached to the lo-inch refracting telescope, permitting visitors to view prominences on the sun. One of only about a dozen in the world, this instrument is, to the best of our knowledge, the only one available for public use. Throughout the year, the Institute's Moonwatch Station was in operation for collection of IGY data.

In particular, they answered questions concerning visibility of the satellites in this area.
