Profile: Greg Piepol
Greg’s favorite part of the hobby is outreach. He consistently shares the sun and his expertise of the various types of solar equipment inspiring school children and fellow enthusiast alike. “Observing our star provides one of the most memorable experiences in amateur astronomy. A person’s first look at the sun through a properly equipped telescope is not quickly forgotten and can be compared to the first time they saw Saturn in a telescope. It’s that good!”
