Jeff can the SDO content be displayed natively or does It need to be sliced for multiple projectors?

11:35:29 From Jeff Nee To Everyone:

...They release it as 4096x4096 frames, so however your dome handles that.

Link to my script and media for that activity I mentioned: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FZo7wRjluSZeBCRIJj7ujabv6s0VKss7a8fwReoIXHU/edit#heading=h.j71s3eb2nmp8

Here's a simple example to try in your dome from my show,

but you might want to create your own as the Sun gets more active in the coming years.

https://store.lawrencehallofscience.org/Item/gems-more-than-magnifiers ...link to the More Than Magnifiers GEMS guide from the store at The Lawrence Hall of Science. It claims that they are in stock. The activities are made to be done with lenes you can order from JP Mfg., I don't know if the lenses are still available, but the activities can be adapted to other kinds of lenses if you have them.

[Alan Gould: More Than Magnifiers teacher guide that has activities using inexpensive plastic lenses.  Kids make telescope, microscope, ...slide projector]

11:53:49 From Jeff Nee To Everyone:

I've done similar activities with dollar store magnifying lenses with varying levels of success, so I can at least attest that different lenses CAN work
