Brett Bonine,

president-elect of SPACE Hogs, displays a Newtonian telescope that will be equipped with a solar filter to allow him and other members of the UA astronomy club to view the solar eclipse. He said he hopes to get a sighting of “Baily’s beads” and a “diamond ring” as the eclipse reaches totality in Fulton, Mo., where he and fellow club members will watch on Aug. 21.
