PX Viewing Information
PX Viewing Techniques:
This will help many who had hoped to see PX, but have had
frustrating results with no sighting.
Equipment:
1. A large no. 10 welder’s lens about 5.25 inches wide, 5 dollars.
2.
A small pair of binoculars that does not spread past the welders lens
width, with a magnification of approximately 17, 40 dollars.
Warning do not look at the Sun without the specified no. 10
welders lens between the Sun and your binoculars or blindness may result.
Viewing Times:
Sunset, this is the time when the slight angle between the
Sun PX is at its maximum.
30-10 minutes before sunset.
Frequency:
You should spend 2 to 5 minutes looking twice a week.
Setting a Base:
Look at the Sun during various time of the day initially,
most will see only the Sun, let this be your base.
Lens Flares:
If you want buy 2 lens, the molecular structure of each
lens is different and will not produce the same effect in both lens and for good
measure hold one end and change the angle of tilt to the binoculars just to be
sure.
What will I See?
For most, after some effort the view will be an
unimpressive image of a faint ghost like image the size of our Sun to it’s
northwest. The spacing is similar the view of the double sunset in the original
Star Wars. Though a few lucky viewers will have no doubt at what they are
observing.
When I see it what should I do?
A show a friend fast, because for most the image appears
only for a few minutes.
What if I what to document this?
Then set up a vigil and put the time and effort into it,
only by doing this will you get results, but don’t go public.
